No fewer than 1.2 million pupils were enrolled into the National Homegrown School Feeding Programme in Kano State.
A Focal Person, National Social Investment Programme (N-SIP), Mr Baba Zubairu, made the disclosure at the distribution of engagement letters and tablets to some Trained Independent Monitors in Kano on Tuesday.
He disclosed that a total of 119,000 households were registered under the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme where each of the identified poor households received N5,000 monthly.
