The federal government has attributed nutrition deficiency across the country to inadequate funding and weak data systems as it restates its commitment to provide aid to children under the age of five, women of reproductive age, alongside vulnerable groups in the country.
This was disclosed by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, Dr Emeka Obi, who stated this at the Nigeria Health Watch 2024 Nutrition Consultative Forum with the theme: “Addressing Coordination Bottlenecks in Nigeria for Improved Nutrition Outcomes.”
