At an event to mark the 2024 World Food Safety Day in Abuja yesterday, the minister of health and social security, Prof Mohammed Ali Pate also inaugurated four inter-sectoral Technical Working Groups (TWGs) to spearhead the enhancement of Nigeria’s food safety systems in alignment with international standards.
The TWGs will provide expertise and leadership to drive effective communication, capacity building and strategic partnerships among stakeholders, as part of continued efforts to strengthen and harmonise Nigeria’s regulatory environment and risk-based food safety systems, while improving industry engagement in the national regulatory processes and compliance with international food safety standards.

They are tasked with focusing on risk-based regulations, food inspection, traceability technologies, and stakeholder education and research.
Speaking further, Pate emphasised the importance of preparedness and vigilance in maintaining food safety.

According to the minister, the revised policy, which adopts the one health approach, aimed to establish a robust foodborne disease surveillance and response system, set benchmarks for safe food handling, and address emerging contaminants in the food chain.

Represented by permanent secretary, Daju Kachollom, the minister stated that the policy seeks promote overall health by reducing the intake of harmful substances such as salt, trans fatty acids, sugar, and alcohol.
