The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), has declared Kaduna State, as a malnutrition endemic state, with over 1.6 million children suffering from one form of malnutrition or the other.Dr Florence Oni, UNICEF, Nutrition Specialist made the declaration while presenting nutrition intervention score card for the last six months in the state, during a two-day 2016 mid-year review meeting in Kaduna.According to her, malnutrition was responsible for the death of 50 per cent children under five years in the state.“Currently, over 900, 000 children, representing 57 per cent children in the state are stunted; meaning 6 out of every 10 children under-five years in the state is stunted due to malnutrition.“Also, over 750,000 children are wasted, which implies that 47 per cent of the children are suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and are ten times morelikely to die.”She, however, said that the state government was already doing something about it, adding that much needed to be done if the situation would be addressed.“So far, the State Government has released about N37 million to treat just about 3,060 children, and UNICEF had equally supported the government with same amount to treat additional 3,060 children.
