The House Committee on Nutrition and Food Security gave the directive at the budget defence session with the permanent secretary ministry, Daju Kachollom.

Okafor who is the chairman of the House committee on nutrition and food security had during the budget defence told the permanent secretary that the panel need concrete figures for the 2024 implementation and clearly defined projections for 2025.
