Self Introduction of participants. We are happy to hear that the participants are conscious of the salt level in their foods. #SaltReduction #HealthyDiets
Our ED, Akinbode Oluwafemi (@bodufemi) delivered the welcome address to the Journalism Training on #SaltReduction. Highlighting the roles of CSOs and the media, he noted explained that 'our role as a health-focused civil society organization is to help the public understand the dangers of their choices, especially when consumption is driven by a gap in knowledge, when it comes to food. We also constantly engage with government to put in place the relevant legislation to protect Nigerians.' 'However, as journalists, you have key roles to play in this campaign to achieve the necessary salt reduction target for a healthy nation. You also have an obligation to help Nigerians understand the gimmicks of the food production industry that promote unhealthy foods as the norm.' #SaltReduction #HealthyDiets
