In his remarks, the proprietor of the farm, Abubakar Inuwa Tata, represented by Hauwa Adamu Saraki, explained that egg is a source of protein opining that a simple egg holds the power to nourish bodies and transform livelihoods.

According to him, they decided to distribute the eggs to children in public schools ‘because several of them are less privileged who might take long time before eating eggs which is a good source of protein and nutrition’.

“This year, as we mark the 2025 World Egg Day celebration, our commitment to nutrition and empowerment continues. We are proudly distributing 3,000 boiled eggs to school children in Gombe State, ensuring that every child touched by this initiative enjoys not just a meal, but a message of hope that good nutrition is the foundation for learning, growth, and a brighter future.
