Mothers in Nigeria have been advised to give good nutrition to
their growing children so as to ensure sound intellectual and
physical growth.
Wife of Lagos State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, who said
this while declaring open the 10th Nutritional Seminar of
Frieslandcampina WAMCO Nigeria, at Ikeja, Lagos on
Friday, noted that some mothers were either not sure of what
nutrition to give to their children or completely unaware of this
significant period of a child’s life.
She said the first five years of a child’s life was the most critical
that sets the stage for the child’s intellectual development,
lifelong health, as well as vulnerability.
The governor’s wife added, “Certainly, the brain development
and mental health of a child is essential and it should never be
neglected. Science reveals that there is no other period of a
child’s life when nutrition has such profound impact as
compared to the first five years of a child’s life. This is a critical
period that sets the stage for a child’s intellectual development,
lifelong health, a period of enormous potential as well as
vulnerability.”
She said the theme of the seminar, ‘ Physical Growth and Brain
Development of the Nigerian Child; The Challenge of Our Time’, was
apt, urging health care practitioners to deploy the knowledge
acquired from the seminar in their daily practice.
Ambode commended the company for its nutritional brands,
which had become household names in Nigeria.
The Managing Director, FrieslandCampina WAMCO, Nigeria Plc,
Rahul Colaco, reiterated the company’s commitment to quality
diary nutrition, part of which includes providing adequate up-to-
date researched information on child nutrition, which helped to
reduce malnutrition among women and children in Nigeria.
Colaco stated, “FrieslandCampina invests huge funds in
research and development of quality and affordable products to
cater for the various needs of the consumer. So we are
confident of our support to health care practitioners in ensuring
proper child nutrition.”
The 10th Nutrition Seminar had held in lbadan, Abuja, Port
Harcourt and Enugu before the Lagos event.
