NAN reports that The Nigerian Home Grown School Feeding Programme was initiated to improve the nutritional intake of children of school age in Nigeria.
It is also aimed at improving school enrolment and attendance, among other things.
It is a government-led, cost-effective school feeding programme, using food locally grown by smallholder farmers.
