Angela Onwuzoo She noted that the school feeding programmes in some states had increased school attendance besides the nutritional benefits. Alli-Oluwafuyi said the government could improve the quantity and quality of food given to the pupils by subsidising food products sold to shops in schools. “These shops can sell fruits and vegetables to parents and the children in the schools.
Government should ensure that policies that support children’s development are followed through proper monitoring” she said. “For children, many times, prevention is better than cure and because they are just growing, their immune system is also growing. You need to focus on their nutrition because now is the stage to focus on healthy eating.
