“To ensure strict compliance with standard feeding and students welfare, the Ministry has deployed senior officers to monitor the operations of the affected Colleges while the investigation is going on. Additionally, the Ministry has initiated a nationwide assessment of all Federal Unity Colleges to evaluate the quality of food and pastoral care provided to students,” it read.
