NIGERIANS NOT FEEDING WELL, RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR INCREASED SPENDING ON HEALTHCARE, SAYS THE FED GOVT

I just heard with one ear that the Honorable Minister of Agriculture & Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh has put the blame in the rising cost of family spending more on health care at the feet of Nigerians not feeding well.

Says Mr Minister:

"Most Nigerians often consume carbohydrates and less of protein. This affect their well-beings, especially some children under the age of five who lack access to milk, beef, chicken and other basic proteins."

Less than two weeks after the reopening of roads leading to Northern Borno state, Mrs. Aisha Buhari represented by Senator Abubakar Kyari and other members of the Wife of The Presidents Committee on Distribution of Relief Items, distributed relief items to internally displaced persons (IDPs) who returned to their communities in NGANZAI and MONGUNO Local Government areas of the state.

400 households of displaced women in each of the two council areas benefited from the distribution exercise earlier this week.
