The Chief of Field Office, UNICEF Nigeria, Bauchi Field Office, Dr. Tushar Rane, in a goodwill message he delivered during a Media Dialogue on World Breastfeeding Week, 2023, held at Jamil Hotel and Suites, Azare, on thursday, said family-friendly workplace policies such as paid maternity leave, breastfeeding breaks and a room where mothers can breastfeed, could also have huge benefits for employers.
He said the government and employers must provide the needed assistance for mothers and caregivers including those in the informal sector or on temporary contracts to conveniently breastfeed or support breastfeeding.
