Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mahmood Abubakar has hinted that the Federal Government has taken a decision to review the national dairy policy and regulatory framework.<\/p>\n

Abubakar gave the information shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He explained that a memo submitted by his ministry was hinged on a need to review the framework and guiding principles for the development of an efficient dairy sub sector to satisfy the national demand for milk and dairy products.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, revamping the dairy sector also fell under the national food security policy, stressing that there was no way food security can be extricated from nutrition security.<\/p>\n

He explained that the Vice President, who chairs the National Council on Nutrition, had also advocated the need for the establishment of the nutrition department in several ministries, departments and agencies MDAs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe memorandum presented to Council today was to seek Council approval for the draft National Dairy Policy to regulate the Nigerian dairy industry by providing a framework and guiding principles for the development of an efficient dairy sub sector to satisfy the national demand for milk and dairy products.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always been talking about food security, but we realize that food and nutrition security goes hand in hand,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
