The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced a partnership with the Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding (RH-NHGSF) Programme in order to improve the initiative.
The collaboration, fostered by the Director-General/CEO of NIMC, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote and National Programme Manager, RH-NHGSF, Princess Aderemi Adebowale, will ensure that every school child is enrolled and assigned a National Identification Number (NIN).
This was contained in a statement issued by the Head, Corporate Communications Unit, NIMC, Dr. Kayode Adegoke on Friday.
NIMC noted that the partnership is in alignment with the Renewed Hope Mandate of President Bola Tinubu, stressing that the initiative is aimed at fostering inclusive access to the school feeding program, enhancing transparency, and promoting accountability.
“Under this partnership, the NIMC will work closely with the RH-NHGSF Programme, which marks a pivotal step toward ensuring the effective implementation of the school feeding initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“By integrating the NIN registration process into the school feeding program, the partnership underscores the Federal Government’s commitment to improving educational and nutritional outcomes for children while advancing the Digital Public Infrastructure in Nigeria,” the statement said.
The Commission stated that it remains dedicated to leveraging its expertise in identity management to drive sustainable development and equitable access to essential services for all Nigerians.
