Nigeria, Most Malnourished In Africa, Second Highest In The World - UNICEF by kimjongJezebel(op): 5:40pm On May 05, 2025
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has warned that the food and nutrition crisis might deepen in Nigeria, as the country has already been flagged as having the highest number of malnourished children in Africa and the second highest in the world.


Nigeria has the highest number of malnourished children in Africa and the second in the world,” Nemat Hajeebhoy, Chief of Nutrition at UNICEF, said.

She disclosed that 600,000 children in Nigeria are suffering from acute malnutrition, and half of them are at risk of developing severe acute malnutrition. “Children with severe acute malnutrition are nine to 11 times more likely to die,” she added.

Serigne Loum, Head of Programme at the World Food Programme (WFP), also warned of worsening conditions. “Nigeria has the highest number of food insecure people on the continent,” he stated.

He must be removed at all cost ,just like said power is not serve you take it,we will take power from him come 2027,if he like use head dey wake, he must go
It was a very terrible mistake electing or allowing him near power in the first place
Though he has cleared all doubts now ,that he is not fit to be a president but head of a gangster
