This paper focuses on the opportunity cost of school feeding policy introduced by Kaduna State Governemnt. Kaduna State Public Primary School like any other States suffers huge set back in terms of Teachers welfare, infrastructural facilities, Teachers training and development, Teachers motivation among others. It is on this basis that the study critiqued government choice of feeding pupils against addressing key fundamental issues confronting the core objectives of educational institutions like primary schools in the State. The research solely relay on secondary sources of data while Victor Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation was adopted as a framework of analysis. It was deduced from the reviewed literatures that, free feeding policy is counterproductive as it does not seems to be the immediate needs of Kaduna State Public Primary Schools, neither does it have the capacity to meet the core objectives of the policy. Thus, the paper see the policy as a way to achieve cheap political gain rather than an attempt to improve the educational standard of public Primary Schools in the State. It is in view of the above that the paper recommends to the State government that; Teachers welfare, training and development, infrastructural development should be the centre piece of Kaduna State education policy in Public Primary Schools.
