She tasked the stakeholders to take responsibility and join hands to raise awareness about the huge benefits of breastfeeding and support mothers to practice optimal breastfeeding for the good of the state and Nigeria.

Mrs AbdulRazaq made the appeal during the flag-off of World Breastfeeding Week in Ilorin, the state capital.

She stated that “our governor was one of the first to approve six months of maternity leave for civil servants in the country thereby setting the stage for children to be exclusively breastfed.

“I urge all stakeholders in the state including political, traditional and community leaders, leaders in the private sector and indeed every Kwaran and Nigerian at large to take responsibility and join hands to raise awareness of the huge benefits of breastfeeding and support mothers to practice optimal breastfeeding for the good of our dear state and Nigeria.”

She put the rate at 57.6 per cent “which is the highest in the North Central zone and higher than the national average of 34.4 per cent.

“The state is poised to surpass the target of 70 percent by 2030 through several interventions and enabling environment provided by the state government,” she said.

Represented by director of Primary Health in the Ministry of Health, Dr Michael Oguntoye, Elelu added that the state government “is committed to promoting breastfeeding and other nutritional interventions to curb the scourge of malnutrition”.
