VP Shettima Tasks LG Chairmen on Grassroots Implementation of Nutrition Initiative

Vice President Kashim Shettima has directed local government chairmen across Nigeria to take the lead in implementing the Nutrition 774 Initiative at the grassroots.

Shettima gave the charge on Friday in Abuja during a courtesy visit by the National Executive Committee of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, to the Presidential Villa.

The Vice President said the initiative aims to establish functional structures that will deliver measurable improvements in nutrition outcomes within communities.

He urged ALGON to strengthen Local Government Committees on Food and Nutrition, making them centres for planning, coordination, implementation, and accountability in every council area.

Shettima said President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to improving nutrition remains a key governance priority that must be translated into effective action across the country.
