The First Lady of Zamfara State, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal, has expressed delight over the official launching of the Nutrition 774 Programme in the state.
She also commended Governor Dauda Lawal for inaugurating the Zamfara State Nutrition Council, which will coordinate and regulate all nutrition-related activities across the state.
In a statement issued by the Press Secretary to the Wife of the Governor, Rabi Yusuf, Huriyya noted that, the Governor’s remarks at the event deeply resonated with her, particularly his assertion that they cannot build the Zamfara of their dreams if the challenge of poor nutrition persists.
She explained that the Nutrition 774 Programme, which aims to promote access to nutritious food across all 774 local government areas in Nigeria, reflects the Zamfara State Government’s strong commitment to ending malnutrition and hunger among its people.
The First Lady reaffirmed her office’s commitment to supporting the programme through ongoing food distribution and agricultural empowerment initiatives designed to reach vulnerable families across the 14 local government areas of the state.
Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal emphasized her dedication to ensuring that women and children have access to the nutritious food they need for healthy growth and development.
Her Excellency further described the initiative as a major step toward lasting change, adding that, “God willing, we will continue to work hand in hand with our partners to build a healthier, stronger, and more prosperous Zamfara State.”
