The Federal Ministry of Education has launched an investigation into food quality in Federal Unity Colleges after recent inspections revealed that some schools were not meeting required standards for student meals.
In a statement signed by Boriowo Folasade, Director of Press & Public Relations, the Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to student welfare, noting that two colleges were found to be serving substandard meals.
“During the visit by ministry officials, it was discovered that two colleges provided meals that did not meet the required standards for students. In response, the principals of the affected schools have been recalled to the ministry headquarters to allow for investigation,” the statement read.
To address the situation, the ministry has deployed senior officers to oversee the affected schools and ensure compliance with feeding and welfare standards while the investigation is ongoing.
Additionally, a nationwide assessment of all Federal Unity Colleges has been initiated to evaluate the quality of food and pastoral care provided to students.
“The Federal Ministry of Education remains steadfast in its duty to uphold high standards in its colleges, ensuring that students receive the proper nourishment and care necessary for their academic and personal development,” Folasade added.
The ministry assured parents and stakeholders that appropriate measures will be taken to improve student welfare across all Federal Unity Colleges.
