The role of media in advocacy cannot be over emphasized. Thank you @CappaAfrica for organizing this training of journalists in northern Nigeria around excessive consumption of sugar sweetened beverages & the role of food corporations in the rising rates of NCDs in Nigeria

When Siju, the wife of Pastor Idowu Iluyomade of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Victoria Island, Lagos, threw an extravagant birthday party while the body of Herbert Wigwe, the church’s primary financier had not yet buried, the adverse public reaction was swift. A short thread.

@aedcelectricity call your people to immediately reconnect melody estate at Sabon Lugbe. The woman heading your that office should either be removed or taught. This is so wrong. Address wrongdoers & don’t punish good citizens @NERCNG @fccpcnigeria @TheFCTMinister

@aedcelectricity Why disconnect an entire estate because of 1 or 2 persons who bypassed, including those who had legal connections & have been consistently buying units, & you blame our government yet, you reward good citizens with evil @NERCNG @fccpcnigeria @TheFCTMinister

To achieve food safety and improve public health outcomes, we must set up mandatory regulations for salt/sodium reduction in processed and packaged foods. #SaltReduction #HealthyDiets @Fmohnigeria @NafdacAgency

Reducing sodium intake is a cost-effective intervention that can save lives by preventing and reducing the burden of diet-related NCDs. For every USD spent on reducing sodium intake at the population level, the return-on-investment ranges between $13 and $19. #SaltAwarenessWeek

@aedcelectricity How good is this for health and mental wellbeing? Please address the electricity issues in Sabon Lugbe/Aco axis. It is totally unfair. @NERCNG @fccpcnigeria

@aedcelectricity especially in this period of extreme hot weather conditions and long fuel queues? Even if there is an issue, how long does it take to rectify it?@NERCNG @fccpcnigeria

@aedcelectricity How do you keep people in total darkness for a week (prior to now, there was also barely no light for 2weeks getting to a month)? @NERCNG @fccpcnigeria

A special thank you to @TransfatFreeNG for joining us to share best practices, lessons learned & recommendations based of the Nigerian experience of advocating for policies to eliminate trans fat from the food supply. . . . #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC #TransFatFreeAfrica

Hypertension is the most common NCD in Nigeria and trans fat is a risk factor for this. Join us to ask @NafdacAgency and @Fmohnigeria for #TransfatFreeNigeria regulations.

How often do you check your blood pressure? While we demand for a #TransfatFreeNigeria regulation, we must also be responsible. #WorldHypertensionDay2022

Our heart health matters. @NafdacAgency and @Fmohnigeria must gazette the #TransfatFreeNigeria regulations now.
