The National Economic Council (NEC) has launched the “Nutrition 774 (N774)” initiative to combat Nigeria’s malnutrition crisis and improve nutrition indices across Nigeria.
The initiative was inaugurated on Thursday during the 148th NEC meeting at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima.
As the Chairman of NEC, Shettima emphasized that malnutrition’s impact extends beyond the health sector, describing it as a fundamental crisis that hampers productivity and national growth.
