Dangote recalled the idea as one of the visions of his late brother which he also expressed happiness that it has come true and will be sustained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7072878054ydp3df89c2aMsoNormal\">\u201cI recall my late brother Sani telling me that he would start local production of RUTF in Kano to complement the Foundation\u2019s efforts at fighting malnutrition in Nigeria. I am glad his vision has come to fruition today. He was a visionary leader and his legacy lives on. \u2026I commend the board and management of the company for the bold initiative of building this new and massive factory dedicated to the manufacturing of RUTF that will revolutionize the fight against hunger and rare acute malnutrition in Nigeria\u2026Nigeria needs to end the scourge of this severe acute malnutrition and the establishment of this factory today takes us closer to that goal and I am sure we will achieve that very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7072878054ydp3df89c2aMsoNormal\">Noting that malnutrition, according to the World Bank, is one of the most serious development challenges, Dangote said malnutrition can have a lifetime effect on a child. \u201cThe first few years of a child are very crucial for growth and development.\u201d<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p class=\"yiv7072878054ydp3df89c2aMsoNormal\">\u201cAccording to World Health Organisation( WHO), well-nourished children are 33\u00a0 per cent more likely to escape poverty as adults. On the other hand, childhood malnutrition can lead to a life time consequences including lower IQ, poor social emotional skills and weaker immune system, so it is very important, it is not a joke\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7072878054ydp3df89c2aMsoNormal\">Dangote also said that production of RUTF in Nigeria is important because it is one of the strategic achievements of the Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF), which is to reduce the number of lives list to malnutrition and disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7072878054ydp3df89c2aMsoNormal\">He also declared that combatting the plight of children is at the core of the ADF as a way of improving the lives of children using their investment in health, education and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, on Wednesday, promised to enter into agreement with governments, local governments and local producers of Nutri-K\u2019s Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to guarantee adequate supply directly to primary healthcare centres that treat severe an acute malnutrition(SAM) on sustainable bases.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":56629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1593,17],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-56627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-metro","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
