Yola, July 4, 2018 (NAN) The Social Investment Programme (SIP) is poised to train 2854 cooks for the School Feeding Programme (SFP) in Adamawa.
Commodore Usman Bodes (rtd), Focal Person for the SIP in Adamawa, revealed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yola on Wednesday.
Bodes said that the cooks would be trained on the handling of food for the pupils.
He said that the trainers, who had received a multi sectoral training would step down the training to cooks in various ways of handling public cooking.
Bodes said that the first phase of the programme would commence at the end of July.
The focal person added that all processes for the feeding programme had been concluded, waiting for the last process from its national coordinating office at the presidency to validate the last list.
He assured that the programme would impact positively on the well-being of Adamawa pupils.
He called on the public to support in monitoring the programme, to achieve its goal.
He commended the Adamawa government for the provision of office accommodation and some logistics.
He, however, explained that the SFP was not based on a counterpart funding arrangement.
NAN recalls that the SIP in Yola had earlier conducted its selection of cooks for the programme. (NAN)
