United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has appointed Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, president of the African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina, and 25 others to lead the fight against global malnutrition.

This was contained in a statement by the Scaling Up Nutrition SUN Movement, an initiative of the UN Secretary-General launched in 2010.

According to the movement, one in three people suffer from malnutrition the world over and 149 million girls and boys are stunted, hence the job of the global leaders would be to support country-led efforts to scale up nutrition and to deliver for girls, boys and their families to ensure a world free from malnutrition by 2030.

The appointments remain valid until July 2021.

He doesn’t understand the concept of federal character in Nigeria. Every region has to be represented.
