The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Wednesday announced plans to expand the Renewed Hope Initiative’s National Food Bank Programme across the country’s six geopolitical zones, with the facilities to be linked to primary healthcare centres to tackle child malnutrition.
She said the initiative would ensure that malnourished children, pregnant women and nursing mothers receive both nutritional support and medical care.
Tinubu also declared that no Nigerian child should be allowed to go hungry.
Speaking during the second quarter meeting with wives of state governors at the State House, Abuja, the First Lady urged them to take personal responsibility for addressing child malnutrition in their respective states.
Details of the meeting were contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi, titled, ‘First Lady Oluremi Tinubu declares no child should go hungry as RHI expands food banks, nutrition support.’
