According to Premium Times, the programme has created thousands of Jobs. Among others, many are now employed as food vendors to feed the over 12 million pupils currently in the programme nationwide. A 60+ yrs old woman interviewed by PT confirmed this to be true.
Mrs Indo Sheni reiterated that thousands of low-income women in Katsina are now gainfully employed catering for pupils around the state. PT agreed with her.
Poor people like her were never remembered by the people who fraudulently gave trillions of Naira away to a few Nigerians

Yet the critics cry over Trademoni and School feeding program.
That person wondering why we thank politicians for projects completed does not know our history. He will never understand.

If you think about the value chain, this programme is also creating thousands of jobs in farming, transportation, banking & finance etc. Manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are also indirectly benefitting from the programme via the multiplier effect.
The multiplier effect is simple - People directly employed will patronize the businesses of others who will, in turn, patronize other businesses. This process will repeat itself many times over creating economic activities each time. Think GDP growth.
The report also addresses the inclusion of the participants in the financial sector. People who previously don't have a bank account now own a Debit card.
Access to the financial market is one of the factors responsible for the stunted growth of eCommerce.

By expanding the cashless economy, many more people will be included in the eCommerce environment as producers and consumers. It is a win-win for us all.
Premium Times reported that while there are issues, the programme has helped thousands exit the population of the unbanked.
