Stakeholders in health, nutrition, and agriculture have called for urgent public enlightenment on dairy consumption as the Federal Government, in collaboration with international partners, officially launched the nationwide “Choose Milk Campaign” aimed at improving nutrition awareness and promoting informed dietary choices among Nigerian households.
The campaign, unveiled at the Lagos Marriott Hotel, Ikeja, brought together senior officials from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Ministry of Livestock Development, development partners including the European Union and the Danish Dairy Board, as well as regulators such as the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
