The President in his 15th COVID-19 update to the country noted he had received reports of some JHS students going hungry due to observance of the Covid-19 protocol observation. “As a result of reports I have recently received that some final year JHS students were going hungry in complying with COVID-19 protocols. If the students were hungry, they would have been dead by now because they’ve been in school for one month. It’s not true that foods are not being sold around schools and students are hungry,” he told Morning Starr sit-in host.
