ZAMFARA STATE GOVERNMENT HOUSE
(PRESS RELEASE)
Zamfara
State Governor Bello Mohammed (Matawallen Maradun) has given an express
directive to all school principals and feeding officers in the state to
henceforth eat the food they serve students or face dismissal.
Governor
Mawalle, who supervised the compulsory eating by Principal and staff of
Goverment Science Secondary School Gusau and Government Girls Secondary
School Gusau, was dismayed after meeting the students eating
sudstandard food.
Matawalle who was not happy with the
quality of food he met in the two schools directed that “Henceforth, the
principals and the feeding officers throughout the state must eat the
same food they cook for their students or be dismissed”.
The
Governor expressed his dismay with the type of food provided to the
students, in spite of huge amount of money being spent by the government
on the program. He warned that henceforth, his administration would
deal decisively with such negative attitude by those entrusted with the
responsibility.
Governor Matawalle, who was in a state of
anger at what he saw, decided to make it compulsory for the officials
to eat together with the students amidst cheers from the visibly elated
students.
“You must henceforth eat your food with your
students and I will keep you on watch so that those who violate the
order would be dismissed” Matawalle directed.
He noted
that the state government has been providing all necessary food items
for the students and must therefore be delivered to them appropriately
or face the wrath of his administration. This directive, Governor
Matawalle said, applies across the state.
