As part of activities to commemorate National Nutrition Week 2025, the Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN), Kano State Chapter, carried out an impactful community engagement at one of Kano’s largest markets, Yankura Market on the 25th November 2025.
The team interacted directly with traders and shoppers to:
- Assess basic nutrition knowledge.
- Debunk common nutrition myths.
- Share evidence-based nutrition facts.
- Evaluate food preparation and processing practices.
- Recommend healthier, sustainable alternatives using locally available foods.
This hands-on approach provided a lively and practical learning experience for consumers.
The key outcome of the event was improved awareness of how to better utilize, prepare, and process available food produce in Kano to promote healthier diets and sustainable lifestyle choices.
