FIRST LADY OF ZAMFARA STATE COMMENDS LAUNCH OF NUTRITION 774 PROGRAMME
Her Excellency, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal, the First Lady of Zamfara State, has expressed delight in joining her husband, His Excellency, Governor Dauda Lawal, at the official launch of the Nutrition 774 Programme in the state.
The initiative was introduced to Zamfara by the Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Abdulmalik Gajam, in collaboration with Mrs. Uju Rochas-Anwukah, the Special Adviser to the Vice President on Public Health and Food Security.
Her Excellency noted that the Governor’s remarks at the event deeply resonated with her, particularly his assertion that “we cannot build the Zamfara of our 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, demonstrates 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 for women, efforts that continue to reach vulnerable families across the 14 local government areas of the state. She 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.”
