📅 Date: Wednesday, 24th September 2025
🕒 Time: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (WAT)

Location : Zoom

Nigeria is at a turning point in its fight against malnutrition. While industrial food fortification has proven effective in addressing micronutrient deficiencies, the widespread sale and consumption of unbranded bulk edible oil, often sold in jerrycans, bottles, or open drums, remains a major threat. These oils are unfortified, unsafe, and untraceable, leaving millions of women and children without vital Vitamin A and exposing households to serious food safety risks.

To change this, the Third-Party Advocacy for Large-Scale Food Fortification Project; a collaboration between eHealth Africa and the Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CSSUN), with technical support from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN),is leading a nationwide campaign to phase out bulk oil and promote fortified, branded alternatives.

Join the Insights Webinar this September as we bring together policymakers, industry leaders, development partners, civil society, media, and consumers to:

✅ Expose the dangers of unbranded bulk oil
✅ Highlight Nigeria’s progress on fortification policies and advocacy
✅ Showcase industry and regulatory efforts to strengthen compliance
✅ Empower consumers to demand safe, fortified oil

By aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national nutrition priorities, this movement is about more than policy, it’s about protecting the health of millions and building a safer, more sustainable food system for Nigeria.
