The governor pointed out that this initiative aims  to prevent malnutrition among children aged 6-23 months and will support dietary supplementation for 80,000 children across the state for five months.

 

“We are reminding ourselves that the choices we make today directly shape the future of our children, families, and communities as daily consumption of the SQ-LNS amounts to taking a strong stand against malnutrition, chronic diseases, and preventable illnesses.”

 

The governor pointed out that  malnutrition is a nationwide problem, aggravated by security challenges, which exposed vulnerabilities as a people, while pledging that his  administration will continue to mobilise resources to tackle malnutrition and put Plateau in a better standing to ensure the optimal nutrition status of its citizens.

 

He urged stakeholders, partners, and community leaders to join in this effort as the Government can not do it alone, adding that we need to work together as a collective force to raise awareness about the nutritional needs of children in the first 1,000 days of life.

 

Earlier in her remarks, UNICEF Country Representative in Nigeria Wafaa Saeed lauded the efforts of the Plateau State government in procuring the supplement, adding that daily consumption of SQ-LNS amounts to taking a strong stand against malnutrition, chronic diseases, and preventable illnesses among children.
