Johnson Olusetire, The Chief Executive Officer of Olpharm Nigeria limited, has advised Nigerians to take their nutrition seriously, saying it is essential in living a healthy lifestyle. Olusetire, speaking at the unveiling of Pentasure Hexagon Nutrition Supplement in Lagos, said that global bodies identify good nutrition as the foundation for development. Well-nourished women, children, adolescents, and adults live healthier lives with greater resilience to life-threatening diseases. “Global progress hinges on investment in nutrition. It is an essential building block for the healthy development and wellbeing of all, particularly women and children,” he said.

The pharmacist also lamented the effect of malnutrition on children, calling for urgent attention from the relevant stakeholders. He noted that his firm partnered Hexagon Nutrition in order to proffer solutions to Nigeria’s nutrition challenges. “At the center of this profound triple burden of malnutrition – under nutrition, hidden hunger, and overweight – is a broken food system that fails to provide children with the diets they need to grow healthily,” Olusetire added.
