The Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS) Friday raised alarm warning that over 33 million Nigerians may face severe hunger and malnutrition in 2026 if drastic measures are not taken.
The Secretary-General of the society, Dr. Abubakar Kende, raised the alarm on Friday in Abuja at a ceremony to unveil its Nutrition Advocacy Plan.
The event also honored Ambassador Layla Ali Othman as the Nutrition Ambassador of the society.
Kende, who expressed gratitude that the challenge of hunger and malnutrition could be reduced with the help of philanthropists like Othman, added that the Red Cross looked forward to having Othman become the face of its Anti-Hunger and Malnutrition effort.
According to him, the plan sets the tone for impactful action against hunger and malnutrition in Nigeria.
”The society hopes to make a significant impact in the fight against hunger and malnutrition with the help of its nutrition ambassador and other stakeholders,” he said.
Othman expressed gratitude to the society for the award.
