Following the discovery of unhygienic and unpalatable food given to students in secondary schools in Zamfara State , Governor Bello Matawalle has directed that forthwith , all school principals and feeding officers either serve wholesome foods to students or face dismissal .
Matawalle gave the directive today when he paid an unscheduled visit to Government Science Secondary School Gusau and Government Girls Arabic Secondary School also in Gusau , the state capital , where he met students eating unpalatable 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 from their duties”.
The Governor expressed disgust over the type of food the principals provided for students , despite the huge amount of money being spent by the government on the programme , warning that his administration would not allow such a negative attitude to continue.
He maintained that he decided to make it mandatory for the principals and the feeding officers to eat together with the students so that the quality of food would improve.
“You must join the students to eat the unpalatable and unhygienic food you serve them and I will keep you on the watch so that those who violate the order would be dismissed , ” he said .
