The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, and the Catholic bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, have called for new policies to tackle malnutrition, boost the well-being of pregnant women, breast-feeding mothers and children in the country.

They made the call on Friday in Abuja at separate stakeholders’ meetings organised by the Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development (SFPD); and The Kukah Centre (TKC), in partnership with Accelerating Nutrition Results in Nigeria (ANRiN) Project of the World Bank.

The two-day separate high-level dialogue sessions were held with influential faith leaders of both Christianity and Islam to address the critical issue of malnutrition in Nigeria, with the theme, ‘Faith Influencers Leading the Way: Transforming Nutrition for a Healthier Nigeria’.

The Senior Programme Officer of Sultan Foundation for Peace and Development (SFPD), Mallam Haruna Yusuf Aliyu, said it is important for Nigerians to be committed to collaboratively improve nutrition outcomes in Nigeria.
