Kaduna Copied School Feeding Programme Of Osun State - Nasir el-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has revealed that the social programmes employed in Osun State were replicated by his state.

Nasir el-Rufai made the revelation during a virtual conference held in commemoration of the 63rd birthday anniversary of the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola,

El-Rufai said, “He did many innovative things to create prosperity in Osun and the results are clear.

“By the time I got elected as governor, I sent a team to Osun state to look at some of these policies and adjust them for implementation in Kaduna.

“I like copying whatever works, whatever succeeds because I don’t think you need to reinvent the wheel or be too proud.

“If something works, I am shameless in copying it and I sent a team to Rauf, they spent some time with him and we started the school feeding programme. We also introduced these tablets the way he did. We copied Rauf.

“He could not stop the programmes so he kept borrowing to fund them hoping that something would happen with oil prices. The legacy of domestic debt that he left behind is as a result of funding social programmes to reduce poverty and inequality which have been very successful but were disrupted.”
