Her words: “The Home-Grown Schools Feeding Programme has improved our general standard of living so much that our members who never touched N5,000 in their lives today receive N100,000 directly into their bank accounts.
“Majority of us were not privileged to even visit bank until President Buhari came to power.
“We sincerely thank the president, vice president, Bauchi Governor and National SIPs office for making our dreams a reality.”
