The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on  Osun Elementary school Feeding Program O'meals, Alhaja Folake Olaniyan has charged O'meals food vendors to always adhere to the Covid-19 safety protocols while on their duty

Alhaja Olaniyan stated this  in Osogbo while declaring open a training workshop organized for the O'meals food vendors on Covid-19 safety precautions that must be observed while feeding pupils in their various schools.

She explained that the training workshop becomes necessary because of the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world, stressing that the food vendors have roles and responsibilities  in ensuring that the deadly novel virus is tamed among school pupils.

Alhaja Olaniyan used the occasion to appeal to the vendors to ensure that they adhere to the agreed bench mark and maintain the workable standard for feeding the school pupils at all times.

She said, "As you all know, the Coronavirus pandemic is still with us, we just have to do everything possible to limit its spread. As food vendors involved in feeding our pupils under the O'meals program, you have a responsibility which you must carry out to help government in the fight against the novel Coronavirus.

"Apart from the Covid-19 safety protocols you are being taught today, you must maintain good hygiene practice both at home and in school. Just as the saying goes "the way you dress is the way you will be addressed", as such, you must always be tidy and keep your cooking utensils neat at all times'.

"while feeding the pupils in schools, you must not compromise on the agreed bench mark and maintain workable standard for feeding them, whoever refuse to adhere to the laid down rules of Osun Elementary school Feeding Program will be penalized". The SSA stated.

While appreciating the administration of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for sustaining the O'MEALS programme, Alhaja Folake assured the food vendors that they will benefit from various other programs that the Governor will soon unveil.

Earlier in a welcome address, the state program officer, O'meals, Mrs Olufunke Fabusuyi commeded the efforts of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola for the support as regards the O'meals program in the state. 

She said the O'meals program in the state which takes care of pupils in primary 1-4 with a huge amount of money has gone a long way in improving school enrollment especially at the grassroots level, saying a lot of children are now eager to be in school.

She added that the training is aimed at equipping the food vendors with the necessary precautionary measures against the spread of covid-19.
