Malnutrition: Gombe secures N3.4bn World Bank loan
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Gombe State Government, in collaboration with the Federal Government, has secured N3.4 billion loan from the World Bank to fight malnutrition in the state.

Dr Kamil Shoretire, National Project Manager, Accelerating Nutrition Result in Nigeria, ANRiN, stated this while fielding questions from newsmen on the sidelines of orientation workshop organized for stakeholders on the project in Gombe on Tuesday.

According to him, 12 states of the federation will benefit from $232 million and Gombe state has secured $9.5 million, which is equivalent to N3.4 billion.

He said the duration of the project is five years and it is expected that within that period, the burden of malnutrition among the Nigerian children will drastically reduce.

According to him, about 15 million Nigerian children are malnourished and stunted and the National Demographic Health Survey, NDHS shows that Nigeria has not made any remarkable improvement in terms of child nutrition.

“NDHS survey indicates that we have not made any remarkable improvement in terms of nutrition and this gives us the impression that we may have humanitarian crisis while we are not at war.

“With this project, we will increase the quality and utilisation of the package of nutrition services in Nigeria among under- five children,” he explained.

He said the project would also focus attention on mothers of adolescent children, lactating women, as well as create awareness on exclusive breast-feeding.

Shoretire also said ‘Infant and Young Child Feeding’ programme would be introduced and children under- five would be de-wormed.

According to him, pregnant women will also receive folic acid, iron and other important components of micro nutrients.

Malam Suleiman Mamman, Project Manager, Gombe state, said the loan would attract 0.6 percent interest and government would be repaying gradually.

He said the percentage of malnourished children in the state had been rising daily, from 46.6 percent in 2018, to its current 50 per cent.
