Fed. Govt urged to Extend school feeding to tertiary schools

By


Students of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) have urged the Federal Government to extend its free school feeding programme to institutions of higher learning.
The students, under the aegis of Parrot Publicis Consultants of the UNILORIN Mass Communication Department, said the extension of the scheme would help cushion the adverse effect of the recession on students.
Addressing reporters as part of activities to kick start the ‘my Indomie story campaign’ holding on the campus next week, the Chief Executive Officer, Parrot Publicis Consultants, Oladimeji Olushola, said the demand for the feeding scheme was in line with what used to be in the past.
“We are also demanding that the school feeding programme be extended to higher institutions of learning as it was the case in the past when most of our today’s leaders were served with full chicken in their university days,” he said.

The campaign, organised in conjunction with Dufil Prima Foods, producers of Indomie noodles, is to implement the practical aspect of a course for 300-Level students of Mass Communication and Library and Information Sciences, who specialise in Public Relations and Advertisement.
In executing the school feeding programme, Olushola urged the government to patronise Dufil Prima Foods to encourage the firm to fulfil its social responsibility.
“We want to use this medium to urge the Federal Government to patronise Dufil Foods in its home- grown school feeding programme as a way of encouraging the company to do more,’’ he said.
“Our preference for Dufil Prima was borne out of the fact that it is one of the few companies in Nigeria that has continued to provide succour to Nigerian students and many families in this period of hard economic recession where having a three square meals is almost impossible.”
He urged the government to establish an endowment fund to support fresh graduates willing to set up their own businesses with seed funds.
Olushola added that the fund would discourage the quest for what he referred to as “elusive white collar jobs”
