Nutrition 774

Nutrition 774 is the Tinubu administration's initiative to place nutrition at the heart of local governance across Nigeria. It connects national nutrition priorities with delivery in every local government area.

The programme gives nutrition a clear place in national and local planning, and it focuses coordinated services on vulnerable households.

Coordinating action close to communities

The Nutrition 774 Initiative links national nutrition priorities with state and local delivery. Vice President Kashim Shettima inaugurated its strategic board in June 2025, establishing a national structure that coordinates work across government and partner institutions.

The programme recognises that good nutrition depends on many services working together. Health services, food access, household circumstances and community support all shape nutritional wellbeing. Nutrition 774 brings these strands into one coordinated effort, reducing duplication and making local responsibilities clear.

Reaching every local government

The name reflects the programme's national reach: all 774 local government areas are part of the effort. States, councils and delivery partners are translating the programme into services suited to their communities.

For families, the initiative means better-coordinated support for mothers, children and vulnerable people. Good nutrition underpins health, learning and productivity, so investing in it strengthens the nation's human capital. Through Nutrition 774, the administration is ensuring that nutrition is planned and delivered where people live, and that local government plays its full part in protecting the wellbeing of Nigerians.
