The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, who made the disclosure when the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Leornard and officials of the Department of State paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja, said the Nigerian government had introduced the school feeding programme under its social security programme to lure children engaged in child labour back to school.
Ngige, in a statement issued by the Head of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Olajide Oshundun, noted that as of today the federal government has spent nearly $100 million to feed 10 million children across the country.
According to him, the government has also taken more schools to areas prone to child labour and made education free in the whole country through the Universal Basic Education and the Child Rights Acts.
