The Federal Government on Friday, August 22, 2025, hosted the National Policy Forum on the Institutionalization and Implementation of the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The high-level engagement, organized by ActionAid Nigeria in collaboration with the Presidential Committee on Financial Inclusion and the Renewed Hope National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP), brought together stakeholders from government, development partners, civil society, the private sector, and smallholder farmer associations.
Discussions focused on strengthening the institutional framework of the HGSFP, ensuring long-term sustainability, and aligning the programme with Nigeria’s financial inclusion and economic growth agenda.
National Programme Manager of the Renewed Hope NHGSFP, Dr. Princess Aderemi F. Adebowole, reaffirmed government’s commitment to repositioning the initiative as a transformative driver of nutrition, education, local agricultural development, and inclusive economic empowerment for millions of Nigerians.
“Together, we are building a stronger, sustainable, and more impactful Home-Grown School Feeding Programme for the benefit of our children and communities,” Dr. Adebowole stated.
The forum represents a significant step in consolidating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to enhance human capital development and strengthen social investment programmes nationwide.
