The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it will soon begin the screening of food handlers, especially those working in restaurants, markets, bakeries and canteens, for hepatitis.

The FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, disclosed this in a message to commemorate the 2025 World Hepatitis Day in Abuja on Wednesday.

In the message, read by Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, Mandate Secretary, Health Services and Environment Secretariat,  the minister said that the move was to safeguard public health and food security in the FCT.

According to him, the initiative is aimed at preventing hepatitis and other foodborne diseases.

“This, in the long run, will  protect public health and empower food businesses to operate with enhanced confidence and credibility.”

The minister pointed out that Hepatitis A and E, primarily transmitted through contaminated food and water, could rapidly spread through poor hygiene practices, posing serious risks to the rapidly expanding cosmopolitan city of Abuja.

He added that Hepatitis B and C, predominantly spread through blood and bodily fluids, equally pose a risk in food environments where open wounds or poor hygiene are present,

The minister said that food handlers are, often overlooked, but could play a pivotal role in safeguarding public health.

“Therefore, the FCT Administration, committed to safeguarding public health and food security, is unveiling a strategic initiative to enhance food safety through comprehensive hepatitis screening of food handlers.

“This ambitious initiative is being scaled up through an innovative Public-Private Partnership (PPP) consortium, in alignment with the National Policy on Food Safety and Quality.

“This PPP consortium will combine efficiency, technical expertise and funding capacity of the private sector with government oversight, to implement regular and mandatory Hepatitis B and C screening for all food handlers within the FCT,” Wike said.

He urged relevant stakeholders, government agencies, private enterprises, healthcare providers and food industry operators to actively support the transformative initiative.

He explained that the stakeholders could support the government through mandatory hepatitis screenings for food handlers, promotion of free and effective Hepatitis B vaccination at public health facilities, enforcement of standardised food safety training, including hepatitis awareness.

Other areas of support he added included rigorous enforcement of licensing, hygiene inspections, and medical screening requirements for food vendors and handlers, and raising awareness and addressing the stigma surrounding hepatitis.

“To us, food handlers are not just service providers; they are essential public health stewards.

“Simple, consistent and safe hygiene practices can significantly reduce hepatitis transmission.

“Let us break the silence. Hygiene cannot wait; screening cannot wait; action cannot wait.

“Together, let’s ensure that FCT leads by example – turning our food industry into a symbol of health, safety and excellence,” he said. (NAN)

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mohammed Ndarani, has called for more empowerment of Nigerians with skills in education and agriculture for  sustainable development and food security.

Ndarani made the call on Saturday in Abuja at the ‘Colloquium on Agriculture’ and an Endowment Fund launch for the Etsu Yahaya Abubakar Foundation, where he also made a donation of N30 million.

The senior lawyer is a traditional title holder of Hukuncin Nupe and member Board of Trustees of the foundation, which is for the empowerment of the less privileged.

He said the foundation would be working with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the rights of Nigerians are upheld, irrespective of their class.

“Every human has the right to adequate, sufficient, and healthy food, and this is stated in Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

“It is part of the fundamental objectives and directive principles of State policy, contained in Chapter 2 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, to ensure that suitable and adequate food is provided for all citizens.

“Their rights to decent housing will also be upheld. Article 16(2) of the Constitution recognizes the right to adequate housing, socio-economic rights, rights to education and healthcare.

“The role of the foundation is all-encompassing which will help fight poverty from all angles,’’ he said.

The learned silk reiterated that the foundation would leverage on the untapped potential of Nigerian youths to serve as a catalyst to the economic growth and development of Nigeria.

“The foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people through various programmes, including education, community development, health and wellness, poverty alleviation, scholarship and skill development, community infrastructure, food security, and economic growth.

“Our intervention will empower farmers and agric-preneurs to reinforce agriculture as a viable economic driver in the country.

“The goal is to empower people to become independent and be able to take care of their individual needs.’’

Ndarani emphasised the importance of empowering youths through skills acquisition and employment opportunities.

He also expressed hope that Niger state’s development success would serve as a benchmark for replication across the country.

He commended Gov. Umar Bago for his tireless efforts to drive progress and development in the state, which have greatly benefited its people.

“I commend the governor for his outstanding leadership and commitment to the development of Niger State. His respect for traditional institutions, particularly the Etsu Nupe and other traditional rulers.”

He also acknowledged the invaluable contributions of the Etsu Nupe for his wisdom and dedication to promoting peace and development in Nupeland, Niger State, and Nigeria.

Etsu Nupe and Chairman Niger State Council of Traditional Rulers, Dr Yahaya Abubakar, said the event was for stakeholders to brainstorm and proffer solutions to the teething problems deterring the development of agriculture in Nigeria.

“Our primary aim is to establish a foundation that caters for the indigent in the areas of Education, health, Youth and Women empowerment, among others.

“We align this foundation’s objectives with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at driving economic growth, enhancing living standards, and fostering national development.’’

He commended the partnerships between Silicon Valley Nigeria, NYSC, and the Niger Government on agricultural projects, adding that it has the potential for transformative initiatives in the sector. (NAN)

Prof. Christopher Eze, Vice Chancellor of University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (UAES), Umuagwo, Imo, has advocated the adoption of agroecology to boost food production and ensure national food security.

 

Eze made the call at a one-day sensitisation workshop on MSc Agroecology and Food System programme at the institution’s campus in Umuagwo near Owerri on Friday.

 

The Vice Chancellor said embracing smart agriculture and modern farming techniques would enhance crop yields and improve the country’s agricultural sector.

 

He said Nigeria and West Africa’s horticulture and forests are faced with challenges like low soil fertilities, nutrient deficiencies, weed pressure, irrigation system and salination, pest and disease, among others.

 

“Agroecology practices can help overcome these issues and optimise nutrients and carbon balance, improving soil fertility, aggregate stability, water holding capacity, organic matter nutrient availability and PH regulation in a most harmless manner to the soil.

 

“Our farming system needs a comprehensive resetting, incorporating animal manure management, mulch forage legumes to improve crop yields and address challenges like soils erosion, climate change and biodiversity losses,” he noted.

 

Eze said an MSc in Agroecology would not only improve quality of food and lives, but would provide agricultural stakeholders with knowledge, skills and competencies in the field of agroecological approaches and advanced technologies in the agricultural system.

 

He commended the Visitor of the University and Governor of Imo, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, for his visionary leadership, foresight and unparalleled support to the institution over the years.

 

He said the university which was established in 2020 had gained international collaborations resulting in two European Union (EU) funded projects in the university – the Digital Solution to Agriculture (DIGISOL) and the Agrecofarm project.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Prof. Emmanuel Onweremadu, delivered a keynote paper entitled “Innovation in AgrecoFarm: A sine qua non for food security, environmental sustainability and land degradation neutrality,” at the occasion.

 

Onweremadu, a professor of soil science and technology, Federal University of Technology Owerri, stated that land, population, poverty, and environmental degradation are linked to food insecurity, reduced nutritional value, and biodiversity decline.

 

He further expressed concerns over the alarming rate of physical, chemical and biological degradation affecting tropical soils in the country, calling for a reverse of the situation for improved and quality food production.

 

Speaking on an “Overview of the MSc Agroecology and Food Systems programme” at the university, Prof. Rose Nwabueze, said the programme was developed under the Agrecofarm project.

 

Nwabueze said Agrecofarm project was co-founded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union Commission.

 

According to her, the project is funding capacity building in higher education institutions in three West African countries – Ghana, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

 

“The core idea is to engage in applied research in agroecology techniques for sustainable agricultural productions, reset farming system, and create environmentally friendly farming system that benefits people and the planet,” she noted.

 

NAN further reports that a third paper entitled “Career Path in Agroecology: A roadmap to sustainable agriculture and food security,” was delivered by Prof. Anthony Onyekuru from the university.

 

The International Coordinator of the programme, Prof. Pietro Picuno, who joined the workshop virtually, expressed optimism that the programme would ensure the survival of agricultural projects and help improve agricultural techniques in Nigeria and West Africa.

 

In an interview, the Coordinator of the programme in the institution, Dr Vitus Enwerem, said the programme is aimed at boosting governments’ efforts at sustainable food security in the country.

 

“The programme is introducing sustainable good agronomic practices not just for students to benefit but for rural farmers and farmer associations to equally improve their yields.

 

“The way population is exploding, we need to equally take care of the environment or risk destroying our soil health.

 

“We are calling on students to enroll in the programme as there are lots of prospects including self-employment after study,” Enwerem, who is also the Associate Dean of the Postgraduate School of the university, stated. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Nigeria Institute of Food Science and Technology (NIFST), FCT Chapter, has urged the Federal Government to harness the power of next-generation food science and technology to guarantee food safety.

The President and Chairman, NIFST Governing Council, Bola Osinowo, said this on Thursday at the 11th Regional Food Summit and NIFST Day celebration held in Abuja.

The event had its theme as “Next-Generation Food Science and Technology Solutions for Nation Building”.

“Food science offers solutions through biofortification, breeding crops to naturally contain higher levels of vital vitamins and minerals.

“Imagine what we can achieve with cassava enriched with Vitamin A or maize with increased iron content, reaching communities most in need.

“We can also leverage advanced food processing to fortify staple foods with essential nutrients, making healthy diets more accessible,” he said.

Osinowo said food was the foundation of life and the bedrock of national stability.

According to him, a nation’s development is intricately linked to its capacity to produce, distribute, and consume nutritious food efficiently.

He said historically, advances in food science -such as the Green Revolution – had transformed societies from hunger and malnutrition to abundance and prosperity.

“In Nigeria, a significant portion of our agricultural output is lost due to inadequate storage and processing.

“Next-generation solutions like novel preservation techniques, intelligent packaging that extends shelf life and efficiency can address the challenge.

“Similarly, cold chain logistics, powered by Internet of Things (IoT), can drastically reduce this wastage, ensuring more food reaches our tables.

“Beyond just quantity, we must focus on nutritional security. Hidden hunger – the deficiency of essential micronutrients, affects millions and hinders national productivity,” he said.

The Director-General, National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NBRA), Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha said to fully harness innovations, the government and stakeholders should have a dynamic curriculum on genomics, proteomics and nutrigenomics.

Mustapha, who was represented by Director, Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics, Mrs Shakirat Solebo, called for expanded access to innovation, grants, venture capital and improved  Public – Private Partnerships (PPPs).

He also said there was a need to establish centres of excellence for youths and women in agro technology.

Mustapha said the future of food security and economic growth was in sustainable innovations.

According to him, this can be achieved by embracing biotechnology and digital agriculture.

The Director-General,  Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) , Ifeanyichukwu, Okeke said embracing innovative solutions would create a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Okeke, who was represented by the Group Head, Healthcare Group Standardisation, SON, Mrs Uduak Udoso said SON remained committed to supporting the innovative initiatives.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that NIFST was established in 1976.

It provides  professional support to individuals, public and private institutions in the food industry by  promoting food science and technology, (NAN)

As part of efforts to fight hunger, the Pukka Logistics and Support Service Ltd., in collaboration with the Centre for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD), have distributed food items to no fewer than 240 Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).

The outreach to celebrate PWDs in Lagos, was part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the logistics company.

Mrs Florence Austin of CCD, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the event was to distribute rice and groundnut oil to 240 PWDs.

According to her, the PWDs include those with albinism, deafness, blindness, physical challenges, spinal cord injuries, and intellectual disabilities.

“We organised the event through cluster heads to ensure orderly distribution and also provided security due to past incidents.

“The event aims to honour children and PWDs, emphasising the importance of inclusion and support,” she said.

The Managing Director of Pukka Logistics,  Mrs Beulah Akingbelu-Banjo, said that the company had initiated an ambitious mission to combat food poverty while also championing the dignity of PWDs.

She said that the company’s latest initiative took a compassionate turn by partnering with the CCD to distribute food items to PWDs.

Addressing clusters of PWDs, she said: “Whether you are created with disabilities or it befell you, you are special. Your life matters.”

“You have a specific purpose in life, the reason and the essence why you are created, and disability or anything else cannot stop you.

“You can see a lot of people who got popular, who got into places they could never have been just by the virtue of the fact that they have  some disabilities.

`So, do not despair. It’s such a beautiful thing when people are not limited by their physical abilities anymore,” she said.

Akingbelu-Banjo said that the outreach was with support from British-Indian business partners Jai Mahtani and Sudeep Ramnani,

“Their goal extends beyond mere food distribution — it’s about restoring dignity, challenging perceptions, and proving that disability is not inability.’’

The Federal Government aims to shift from military equipment to agricultural tools, specifically replacing armoured tanks with tractors and machine guns with milking machines, to bolster food security.

The Minister of Livestock Development, Dr Abubakar Maiha, this known during the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National Counter Terrorism Centre – Office of the National Security Adviser (NCTC-ONSA) and International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) on Friday in Abuja.

This initiative, he said, focuses on modernising the livestock sector and increasing food production through technology and precision farming. 

He said the collaboration between NCTC and IITA was a noble framework for integrating ex-combatants into the normal society to support President Bola Tinubu’s agenda on food security.

According to him, once people are productively engaged, they will not be available for recruitment into violent crimes no matter the enticement.

“This is what we are looking at and our vision today in the country we want Nigeria’s countryside to be the symbol of what we want.

“We use tractors to replace armoured tanks, and we want milking machines to replace machine guns because they have no place in our countryside.

“This is what the ministry is driving, and we are going to work with NCTC-ONSA and other MDAs in terms of empowerment of women and youths,” he said.

In her remarks, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Iman Suleiman -Ibrahim, commended NCTC and IITA for the innovative partnership in advancing Nigeria’s peace and security through inclusive and sustainable approaches.

Suleiman-Ibrahim said that agro-business, allied with the empowerment project, was a vital step in addressing the root causes of violent extremism, particularly amongst vulnerable populations, which includes women, youths, and families at risk.

She emphasised that empowering women and marginalised groups was essential for sustainable peace and development in the country.

According to her, family units, particularly women, are central to community resilience and affirmed commitment to ensuring women’s active participation in livelihood programs through integration and community development initiatives.

Also, Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, represented by his Deputy, Dr Emmanuel Akabe, said it was incumbent on levels of government to support the initiative for collective good.

Sule said the North Central region in particular was faced with associated security challenges with attendant consequences on its agriculture and other facets of human development.

He said that application of kinetic approach alone in the fight against insecurity was not sufficient in addressing the peculiar security challenges.

He said that the MOU which targets on enhancing food security and agricultural development would have a better and more sustainable synergy in addressing the nexus between food security, agriculture, and counterterrorism in the country.

On his part, Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Malam Bukarti Tijani, said that Borno alone had over 200,000 repentant terrorist Combatants.

He said the situation had brought to fore the importance of the MoU while looking at non-kinetic approaches to bring more terrorists to voluntarily surrender.

This, according to him, is to ensure that after surrender, communities being resettled would have livelihoods in agriculture as relative peace has come to the region.

“So, the state governments in the Northeast region are battling with their finances to settle and also to find livelihoods,” he said. (NAN)

Prof. Qrisstuberg Amua, the Executive Director, Centre for Food Safety and Agricultural Research (CEFSAR), says that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) induced foods or grains are harmful to health.

Amua said this during a news conference in Abuja on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that GMOs are plants, animals, or microbes that have had their DNA changed using genetic engineering techniques to achieve desired outcomes.

Such outcomes could be improved shelf life, increased yield or pest resistance.

Amua alleged that GMOs had the potential of causing colon cancers.

“Many of the GMO-induced foods don’t digest and as such can cause colon cancer,” he said.

The don, who called for outright rejection of GMOs, said it could alter human’s natural features.

“It can cause impotency, it can cause infertility for both men and women,’’ he said.

He advocated strong political will to resist the proliferation of GMOs in the country even as he commended some African countries for rejecting it.

Amua dismissed insinuations that GMOs could guarantee food security, saying that it was disastrous and genocidal.

Also Speaking, the Deputy Director, CEFSAR, Dr Segun Adebayo, urged the media to rise to the occasion in the fight against GMOs.

Adebayo said it was time to interrogate claims about GMOs which were presented as facts.

According to him, it is time for us to begin to do our own research and say no to some of the imported ideas that tend to enable our self-destruction.

He explained that GMOs were not regenerative and therefore antithetical to the natural law of regeneration.

Adebayo warned against the complicity of some government officials who promote GMOs for whatever reason. (NAN)
