What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Archbishop Emmanuel Obbo of the Tororo Archdiocese has issued a decree mandating compulsory feeding programs in all Catholic Church-founded schools in the area. He emphasised that parents who fail to provide food for their children will not be tolerated.

Speaking at the commissioning of two boreholes at St Paul's Catholic Church and Oriyoi Primary School on Saturday, Archbishop Obbo expressed concern about learners going hungry, compromising their ability to concentrate in class.

"It's sad to note that parents can afford to produce but cannot feed their own children while at school... This is being heartless and an abuse to God's creation," he noted.

He encouraged school administrators to utilise school gardens for agriculture, saying, "I'm told you teachers have turned school gardens into your own. This is wrong... They are meant to be used as places to do experiments, meaning learners can use these gardens to practice agriculture."

Archbishop Obbo also urged parents to provide necessary scholastic materials, rather than relying solely on the government.
