 Meanwhile, the Biasa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence, has said the state is willing to be part of advocacy against excess consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. It stated this during a one-day regional stick oldest forum on SSB Task, organised by the Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa and the National Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Talks Coalition, which supports from the Global Health Advocacy Incubator in Yanagawa. Why Biasa State will be willing to be part of this? But we believe that there are other dimensions to which we'll solve this problem. And that is why Biasa State has a way of trying to get a remedy to itself. We have introduced the weekly prosperity work. Every Thursday, everybody in government takes about five kilometres of work every Thursday. So we do that every week. And so you accumulate that for a period of one year, you will have more devolume of calories will have burned. That is not to mean that we're encouraging the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. But what we're trying to say is that behaviour change, communication will be a better way to solve this problem than because there's no way you can change people's behaviour and stop them because you have increased the tax. Noncommunicable diseases is becoming a major issue in our society. Some of them are not necessarily because of what we consume. Again, because of what we don't eat. Representatives of the Ministry of Health and Environment from Biasa, Hedul State, Rivers, Delta, Kwaibam, Cross River State, as well as civil society organisations, participated in the forum, which was aimed to deepen conversations on how to improve public health. Taxation in itself, I must explain, is a tool for behavioural change. And that has been proven all over the world in several of consumption-related patterns. And it might have just simply had, you know, Nigeria removed subsidy and all of us know that the consumption of fuel has reduced drastically. Essentially, we are doing this at the regional level to be able to mobilise the region to the federal government to be able to say, yes, it is good you have imposed a tenera per litre, which is extremely insignificant on sugar-sitting beverages, but we can do better by moving to 20 percent or maybe something much, much higher. Tax is a win-win situation for everybody because while on one hand you are improving health, on the other hand, you are generating revenues that can go back to the country, coming to the community, and even a map to health to improve our really poor and weak health systems in Nigeria. I just believe that there are many persons out there that don't really know exactly the constituents of sugar in the content of what we take from those beverages. So going out there for, you know, health education, health advocacy, then educating everyone on the voter changes we also have in reducing, you know, the intake of those items and again, reduce NCDC in our society.
