Who should determine what Nigerians eat, how nutrition professionals are regulated, and whose expertise counts?

The proposed Nutritionists Registration Council Bill has sparked debate over professional standards, public health, and the protection of Nigeria’s indigenous food knowledge.

Should nutrition policies be shaped primarily by qualified professionals and government regulators, or should farmers, traditional knowledge holders, and everyday Nigerians have a stronger voice?

As Nigeria works to improve nutrition and food security, the challenge is finding a balance between scientific expertise, public safety, cultural heritage, and inclusive policymaking.

🔥 THE BIG QUESTION: Who should have the strongest voice in shaping Nigeria’s nutrition policies — nutritionists, dietitians, government agencies, or the people whose lives are directly affected?
