The United Nations Children Fund, (UNICEF) has raised concern over the growing nutritional crisis in the Sahelian countries of Niger, Mali,Chad and Cameroon, and its potential impact in northern Nigeria.
The organisation stated that already, acute malnutrition is endemic in the northern states of Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa, Yobe and Borno which has been attributed not only due to food shortage, but also as a result of poor nutrition care practices, especially failure to breastfeed exclusively for six months.
