The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) says over 13 million children are suffering from chronic malnutrition in Nigeria.
Addressing a gathering in Abuja, UNICEF Chief Nutritionist in Nigeria, Arjan de Wagt, said that 300,000 children would die in 2016 alone if they were not treated.
Both UNICEF and a coalition of Civil Society Organisations called on the Federal Government to act by making
funds available for the treatment of malnourished children.
UNICEF is a United Nations program that provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.
