The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima has charged local government chairmen to drive the implementation of the Nutrition 774 (N-774) Initiative at the grassroots to improve nutritional outcomes in communities across Nigeria.

Accordingly, he directed the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) to actively participate in and strengthen the Local Government Committees on Food and Nutrition, ensuring they become centres of planning, coordination, implementation, and accountability in every council.

Senator Shettima gave the directive on Friday in Abuja during a courtesy visit by the National Executive Committee of ALGON on the Nutrition 774 Initiative to the Presidential Villa. He said the goal is to develop functional structures capable of delivering measurable improvements in nutrition at the community level.
