The Plateau State Government strengthened public health interventions through coordinated actions targeting child nutrition and livestock disease control. The Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning reaffirmed its partnership with Evidence Action to expand the Small Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements programme across selected communities, aiming to reduce child malnutrition and stunting through wider healthcare coverage and capacity building for health workers. At the same time, officials of the Ministry of Livestock Development intensified emergency responses to the African Swine Fever outbreak by inspecting affected farms, conducting fumigation and disinfection exercises, assessing disease impact, and encouraging farmers to report outbreaks promptly while registering their farms for improved government intervention.
