These brothers and sisters came in flocks to show support and pledge anew their commitment to the PPAN, as the country’s blueprint of actions for nutrition improvement.
In her speech, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Ubial stressed the need to address the ‘ticking bomb’ in the country—the problem on stunting—which the media can help address through their pen and paper, and their recorders and microphones.
She noted that with all the events and conflicts besetting the country, the media should not also forget to report one of the oldest battles that the government has been trying to win over the years…and that is malnutrition.
She enjoined every Ifan during the PPAN launch to lead the loud voice of nutrition amidst the noise of all that is happening in the country, as she believes in the power and influence of the Fourth Estate on people.
