Nigeria's Government and ATNi Boost Nutrition for MSME Growth
On September 16, 2026, Senator John Owan Enoh, the Honourable Minister of State for Industry, announced that the Federal Government, in collaboration with the Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNi), is intensifying the Nutrition 774 Initiative to serve as a catalyst for food industrialization and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) development. This initiative aims to create private investment, job opportunities, and strengthen domestic food value chains.
The Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMITI) will develop a Unified “Trade” Sector Nutrition Strategic Plan and conduct a national multi-stakeholder mapping exercise to identify private-sector capabilities and address challenges in the food and nutrition value chain. Senator Enoh emphasized the need for a coordinated response to Nigeria's undernutrition and diet-related diseases, involving various stakeholders.
The proposed plan will align with the National Policy on Food and Nutrition 2026–2035 and strengthen collaboration among relevant government agencies.
