HURIWA urges NASS to withdraw nutritionists’ council bill
HURIWA has urged Nigeria's National Assembly to withdraw a bill that seeks to establish the Nutritionists Registration Council of Nigeria. The group warns that the proposed law, sponsored by Rep. Chike Okafor, could marginalise indigenous food knowledge, create legal uncertainty around traditional nutritional practices, and lacks safeguards for traditional and family-based knowledge.
