Gates Foundation honours Nigerians, others as global champions for children’s nutrition

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has celebrated 10 extraordinary leaders championing child health and nutrition during its annual event tagged: “Goalkeepers 2024: Recipe for Progress.”

The Goalkeepers event serves as a platform to reiterate the importance of continued investment in child nutrition, particularly in countries like Nigeria where millions of children are at risk of stunting and wasting.

The event, which took place during the United Nations General Assembly in New York, highlighted ongoing efforts to tackle malnutrition in an increasingly warming world.
