UNICEF Commits to Children's Welfare and Healthcare in Nigeria

UNICEF's Chief of Field Office in Sokoto, Michael Juma, reiterated the organization's dedication to children's welfare in Nigeria. UNICEF has been actively working to address the healthcare needs of children, with 18,000 households receiving free medical services.

Notable achievements include the establishment of special newborn care units, provision of vitamin supplements to millions of children, and successful treatment of severely malnourished children. UNICEF also commended the Sokoto State government for contributing N100 million to child nutrition funds, which UNICEF will match to procure high-impact nutritional supplies.
