 In Benway State, stakeholders have agreed to prevail on the leadership of the local government in this state to release the approved budget for nutrition and youth-friendly programs in the affected local government areas. The stakeholders represented from Guay West and Agatu local government areas made their commitment in NACA and Obagaji at a community dialogue meeting organized by Women-Friendly Initiative. Our job is to mark on the local government chairman or government at least to bring the chairman to release money for the unit of the nutrition for the sake of our small children and I believe we will support what we have. We rely on the chairman or government to at least pay attention to that unit if money comes, sit up, make the use of that money for the purpose of our children. Because of this crisis or whatever, I can say that most of the children that we teach in school are not giving adequate nutrition and this thing is affecting them both intellectually and other things. I will not hesitate in relating it to the chairman, I will tell him the need for urgent attention. According to the Executive Director of Women Friendly Initiative, the opinion leaders were key to the implementation of the programs owing to the roles in the local governments. This activity is for us to mobilize more support from other stakeholders to mount pressure on these local government leaders to release these monies that they have allocated to these budget lands we are talking about, the nutrition and the adolescent and youth friendly health services. So far the commitment we receive from Magatu, the one we receive from Gwewes are all very very promising. We are very very hopeful that in no distant time they will release the funds that they have allocated on these two budget lands. Food and nutrition committee will be doing in this LGE is to ensure that the released funds are used for what it is meant for and they would also be monitoring, carrying out monitoring functions in the LGE and then to ensure that in terms of there's effective service Hello hope you enjoyed the news please do subscribe to our YouTube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
