| Summary: | On 11th April 2022, the idea for the school feeding programme was born because Nigeria has high malnutrition and schools continue to struggle with attracting students. This study examines this context and is based on two research questions and two objectives aimed at spotting hurdles in the national home-grown school feeding programme in Nigeria and proposing actions to strengthen it and other policy actions in the country. The analysis drew from systems theory and the study gathered secondary and primary data mainly from books, articles and online sources. In the study, respondents were selected using survey research design and purposive sampling. Out of 300 research questionnaires distributed in the study, 286 were returned and used for analysis in the three Community Primary Schools. Information was shown as a table and analyzed using percentages. Amongst the findings, it is concluded that poor access to the programme, less money allocated and costly food items are all problems faced by the programme. Accordingly, the study suggests, along with other steps, managing food vendors well, raising food standards and quality and organized supplies can lead the programme to achieve good results.
