FG TASKED ON QUICK ''FREE MEAL'' IMPLEMENTATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Mr. Gabriel Fasanu,the Principal of Babcock University Schools, Ogba, Lagos has urged the federal government to commence the implementation of its free meal programme for children in public schools across the country.
Fasanu, who made this call during the school’s Thanksgiving Service and Community Guest Day, pointed out that the quick implementation of the programme will alleviate the hunger problems school children face, adding that most parents cannot afford three square meals a day.
According to him, poverty and malnutrition of school children often result to poor academic performance and increased number of children who are out of school.
The Principal, however, said the thanksgiving service was a medium for the school to thank God for its numerous achievements in the two years of existence, as well as appreciate the contributions of staff, students, parents and its host community.
On his part, the Vice-President, Spiritual Life in Babcock University, Dr. Tunde Ojewole, in his message entitled Receiving the full reward, said that God is The Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
He noted that God is not like man that rewards people partially. He charged the staff and students to always pray for full reward in all they do, stressing that they should not allow sin to make their full reward impossible.
