President Muhammadu Buhari frowned at the Nigerian elite’s inability to tackle the welfare and educational needs of the less privileged children.
He hosted few of his cabinet members for breaking of fast at the villa. In attendance were Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, several Ministers, Service Chiefs, heads of Security Agencies and chief executives of Federal Government agencies and institutions.
Buhari said that the level of poverty was saddening and there was a need to challenge the elites to take responsibility and alleviate the situation.
The President added that there was a need to create a programme that will guarantee basic education.
However, Buhari commended Vice-President Osibanjo for the success of managing the school feeding and ‘trader money’ programmes.
