In a strategic effort aimed at reinforcing child nutrition interventions and combating the growing burden of malnutrition across Jigawa State, the Jigawa State Primary Health Care Development Agency (JSPHCDA), with support from UNICEF Nigeria and in collaboration with Evidence Action, has commenced a two-day State-level Training on Small Quantity Lipid-based Nutrients Supplements (SQ-LNS) and Micronutrient Powder (MNP) to prevent malnutrition in Jigawa State.

The capacity-building programme, which is being held from Saturday 23rd May to Sunday 24th May, 2026 at the Manpower Development Institute (MDI), Dutse, convened nutrition officers, and other critical stakeholders from across the state to enhance technical expertise and strengthen community-based nutrition service delivery.

The training session was officially declared open by the Acting PHC Director, Dr. Sadiya Muhammad, on behalf of the Executive Secretary of JSPHCDA, Dr. Shehu Sambo. In her keynote remarks, she warmly welcomed participants and admonished them to actively engage throughout the sessions and effectively deploy the acquired knowledge towards mitigating malnutrition and improving child survival indices at the grassroots level.

The training is being facilitated by the State Nutrition Officer, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi, alongside Mrs. Shamaki Christiana Dogara and Mrs. Billyok Alheri from the Department of Nutrition, Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (FMOHSW).

Also in attendance were prominent state team members, including the Deputy PHC Directors, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi Bulangu and Alhaji Magaji Uba Ahmad, alongside other senior officials of the agency.

The training is expected to be cascaded to health workers across Local Government Areas of Jigawa State, with the aim of strengthening service delivery and ensuring wider dissemination of best practices in infant and young child nutrition in line with the health transformation agenda of His Excellency, Governor Malam Umar Namadi, FCA.
