Nutrition is both a maker and a marker of development. Improved nutrition is the platform for progress in health, education, employment, empowerment of women and the reduction of poverty and inequality, and can lay the foundation for peaceful, secure, and stable societies

Ban Ki-moon Former UN Secretary General

Good feeding means access to nutritious food which is often made difficult by illness. Delivering on the promise of the 2030 Agenda will not be possible without rapid progress towards ending malnutrition and at the same time a lasting end to malnutrition cannot be achieved in isolation.

David Nabarro Special Advisor on the 2030 Agenda for SDG and Climate

We want to save lives. We want to reduce physical and financial pain. We want to produce health and do it for all Nigerians.

Dr. Muhammad Ali Pate Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare
