The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has demanded an audit of enrolment figures utilized for funding under the School Feeding Programme, in response to claims that some head teachers may be exaggerating the number of pupils to receive greater financial support. Jacob Anaba, NAGRAT's president, announced this request following concerns expressed by the National Coordinator of the programme, Hajia Fati Forgor, about the potential practice of inflating enrolment numbers by certain head teachers.
Speaking to Citi News on Friday, September 25, Mr. Anaba described this alleged behavior as fraudulent and called for a thorough investigation. "When you have been entrusted with the responsibility of providing something vital to our children, and you inflate the figures, you are engaging in fraud against the system and the state," he stated.
Anaba further emphasized that the meals provided through the programme must be nutritious enough to enhance students' concentration and academic performance. "The food given to our children through the school feeding programme should be nourishing and capable of sustaining them during their classroom activities."
