Yesterday, I chaired the Opening Ceremony and Induction Ceremony of the 55th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria.

Hosted in our beautiful, vibrant city of Port Harcourt, the theme for this year’s AGSM is, "Advancing Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition in Nigeria: Innovations and Strategic Partnerships for Sustainable Impact." This is particularly pertinent and critical as Nigeria is facing its worst malnutrition crisis in decades.

As I emphasised in both my opening and closing remarks, as a country, we don't suffer for a lack of nutrition plans or programmes. Rather, real time data and a multi-sectoral, whole-of-society approach are critical to meeting the nutritional needs of women from conception to the postpartum period whereever they are, from the creeks of Bille in Rivers to the hinterlands of Binji in Sokoto. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Nutrition Society of Nigeria, His Highness Khalifa Muhammad Sanusi II, Emir of Kano also spoke strongly about this, charging all stakeholders, in his remarks. I was also deeply honoured to receive special commendation, especially by His Highness, for my work advancing nutrition in Rivers State in the last two years.

While we are desirous of innovation, an emphasis on continuity will guarantee the relegation of prevalent malnutrition amongst mothers, infants, and young children in Nigeria to the annals of textbooks and history books. This holistic approach to addressing nutrition will be a key determinant towards achieving sustainable improvement in our country’s nutrition outcomes.

Huge congratulations to Prof. Ngozi Nnam on her Lifetime Achievement Award, for decades of immense contributions to advancing nutrition in Africa; and Prof. Henrietta Ene-Obong for a very rousing Keynote Presentation. Both of whom are from my alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, so I couldn't be more proud.

Congratulations to my dear Sister, Mrs Uju Rochas-Anwukah, SSA to the President on Public Health, and Mrs Ladidi Kuluwa Bako-Aiyegbusi mni, Director and Head of Nutrition, Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, for their awards of Honorary Membership of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria.

On Day 1 of the 10th Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance (NISA), I moderated the panel discussion on Innovation in Policy and Reform for Sustainable Growth through Local Action (from Investment to Impact). Since its introduction two years ago, it has been an annual conference highlight.

The panelists included Dr. Muhammad Lawan Gana, Honourable Commissioner for Health, Yobe State; Dr. Marcellina Tomi Coker, Honourable Commissioner for Health, Ogun State; and Dr. Ibrahim Dangana, Honourable Commissioner for Primary Healthcare, Niger State.

They shared inspiring ideas and initiatives from their various states, spanning pharmaceuticals, medicines and supplies, human resources for health, maternal health, primary healthcare infrastructure, and health financing.

It was also interesting to note that the four states represented (Yobe, Ogun, Niger, and Rivers), had in the past one year collectively increased the health workforce by 9,000.

We also had a very engaged audience, whose questions added to the richness and depth of the conversation, including highlighting the importance of process evaluation and documenting lessons from both successful initiatives, and those that haven't worked.

I had earlier threatened to blow a gasket if the audience didn't engage, and I am certainly glad to report that they gave me no reason to!

My work was therefore done!

DISCLAIMER: FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

It has come to our attention that a parody Facebook account Hon Prince Isaac Umejuru has been created by some media hoodlums to impersonate the the former Rivers State Commissioner for Urban and Physical Planning.

The account has the image of Hon. Umejuru in the center of the former Governor Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON, GSSRS on the right and former Chairman of ONELGA - Bro. Felix Obuah on the left and other people including security operatives as the Facebook Cover Photo while the Facebook Profile Picture is the image of the Executive Governor of Rivers State HE Sir Siminalayi Fubara GSSRS and the present Minister of FCT whispering to each other.

We humbly inform the public that the Prince Isaac Umejuru is the only personal account operated by my Principal himself. Also the Official Account https://www.facebook.com/share/17GtBs4Kvz/ operated by Amb Igwe Francis Whyte the P.A on Media.

Let it be on record that Hon Prince Isaac Umejuru does not have personal problems with either the Bro. Felix Obuah or Chief Nyesom Wike but the nefarious act by this unscrupulous media charlatan needs to be addressed appropriately.

The general public is advised to neither engage nor befriend this nitwit whose only intention is to spread false information and deceive the gullible. Probably to even extort money and other material gains from the unsuspecting citizenry.
