 The need for Nigerian governments at all levels to launch action plan for prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases has been raised by concerned health practitioners. This follows the prevailing increased rate of NCDs which stands at 29% in Nigeria according to research by World Health Organization and continue to be a major source of disease and death.
