Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has urged Gov Ademola Adeleke to discontinue the state\u2019s recent free school food initiative.<\/p>\n

The request was made in response to the recent suspected food poisoning of 18 primary school students at St. James Primary School in Osogbo.<\/p>\n

18 students allegedly felt ill after eating their free O-Meal diet on Monday and were taken to an undisclosed hospital, where they were all treated and later discharged.<\/p>\n

In response to the development, Osun APC chairman Sooko Lawal, in a statement on Tuesday in Osogbo, described the incident as another example of the state\u2019s lax leadership.<\/p>\n

In the statement issued to journalists by Kola Olabisi, the party\u2019s Director of Media and Information, Lawal described the occurrence as an embarrassment to the population and a reflection of the \u201chandlers’\u201d lack of preparedness.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow would the food vendors be dedicated when they are paid peanuts and are not supplied with the right food supplies? \u201d Lawal said.<\/p>\n

He called on stakeholders to unite to denounce the laissez-faire attitude towards governance, which was demonstrated in part by the suspected poisoning of 18 primary school students.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Osun State Government has ordered a thorough inquiry into the alleged food poisoning at St. James Primary School (B), Owoope, Osogbo.<\/p>\n
