UNICEF- South West Has Second Highest Number Of Stunted Children In Nigeria by joudini(m): 6:26pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that the south-west has the second highest number of stunted children in Nigeria. UNICEF Communication Officer, Blessing Ejiofor, speaking at a meeting on child nutrition in Ogun state attributed the high number of stunted children in the region to acute malnutrition. She revealed that 19.4% of children in South West are stunted, which is only second to what is obtained in the North. She said; “However, 19.4 per cent of children in South-West Nigeria are stunted. This figure is worse than the figure for the South-East and the south-south but better than the North as we would see during the presentations. This calls for more work by everyone –government and all of us. “As agenda setters, we must do more to keep child nutrition conversations on the priority list of those that can act to reverse this ugly trend. “UNICEF believes that journalists can help set the agenda for action against all forms of child malnutrition, be it severe acute malnutrition or stunting. This, the media can do by creating heightened awareness among leaders and citizens. The media remains UNICEF’s major ally as we work for every child, everywhere, to build a better world for everyone. www.saharareporters.com/2018/02/27/south-west-has-second-highest-number-stunted-children-nigeria-unicef cc: lalasticlala 5 Likes 3 Shares |

This is due to their typical diet that consists mainly of carbohydrates, little or no proteins,no fiber, lack of fruits and vegetables... We need to create awareness and to teach people, especially mothers on how to incorporate these nutrients into their meals without spending so much. We have the best foods packed with nutrients in Nigeria... beans, pumpkin leaves, sweet potatoes, spinach, eggs, sorghum, millet, oranges, watermelon...these foods are rich in nutrients and antioxidants and are very affordable 110 Likes 11 Shares |

The south west is not big on veggies reason why they deride igbos abt ugu being in their food everytime. It is very neccessary like how do you eat a whole meal or a day's meal and not one has veggies but filled with red hot pepper et al? Aside stunted growth,pile is rampant there prolly cos of their type of food. NB.Diarrhoea and constipation occassioned by pepper can agravate it. 138 Likes 18 Shares |

This deserves front page. it is a public health nutritional concern. It deserves to be seen by all so that those affected can sit up and pursue proper nutrition. Prof. Omuemu, dept of community health, school of medicine, Uniben used to tell us then "that small garden of vegetables in your backyard can save you from a range of nutritional problems". 24 Likes 3 Shares |

The strength of the South West is not in physical bulk but intellectual sagacity. Have you noticed that the person who can afford a bag of rice can't carry it and the person who carries a bag of rice can't afford to buy it. Wawa pigs need to look like castrated pigs so that they can have the strength to serve others. 12 Likes 2 Shares |
