    “Anyone found diverting this life-saving commodity does so at their own risk,” Dr. Kainuwa warned.

     

    He emphasized that the government remains fully committed to ensuring that RUTF reaches its intended beneficiaries—children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

    “The Jigawa State Government, in collaboration with UNICEF, is working to improve nutrition and health outcomes for women and children,” he noted.

    Dr. Kainuwa also commended the state’s innovative approach through the Masaki Nutrition Programme, which focuses on malnutrition prevention.

    The programme currently operates 300 fully government-funded community sites across the state.

    “Jigawa has shown remarkable leadership in the areas of nutrition, health, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) through consistent funding and quality service delivery,” he added.

    He urged health workers to uphold professional ethics and prioritize the well-being of malnourished children. He reiterated his call to the public to remain vigilant and report any cases of RUTF diversion to the authorities.
