Malnutrition has been described \u00a0as one of the several consequences affecting underaged children as a result of intermittent child birth by their parents, especially their mothers due to inability to adopt child spacing methods.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 Officer In Charge of the Primary Health Care Facility in Tunga, Chanchaga Local Government of Niger state Mrs. Aisha Ibrahim statedd this durung an interactive session with the newsmen\u00a0 on a field trip to the facility’s Family Planning unit to assess how Family Planning services were\u00a0 run, the different methods available to clients, their preferred choices and most importantly, to know the number of people that visit the Unit to access the services on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

National Wire observed that the trip by a select journalists was at the instance of “The Challenge Initiatives ( TCI) a Non Governmental Organization led by their Officials who were on 3- Days Training mission \u00a0for journalists in Niger State on Media involvement in reducing Maternal and Child mortality in Nigeria, with special reffernce to Niger state, in conjunction with the state government.<\/div>\n

It was further learnt that the concern was to prevent Women and Children that were dying as a result of not taking up \u00a0family planning.<\/p>\n
She explained further\u00a0 that\u00a0 when a nursing mother gets pregnant while she breastfeeds, the infant could be at risk of being malnurished because, stressing that the child may\u00a0\u00a0 be denied adequate milk when the pregnancy gets to a certain stage.<\/p>\n

According to her, Family Planning was the solution to many of such maternal and child health related problems.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, she pointed out that Nigerlites were gradually\u00a0\u00a0 becoming aware of the importance of Planning their families as more people come in to access the services.<\/p>\n
