The Rivers State Chapter held a thanksgiving service to God Almighty in appreciation for His benevolence in the past year and to commit the year 2026 into His hands, seeking grace to continue advancing the vision of the nutrition profession. The service took place on Sunday, 1 February 2026, at Wonders of Grace International Christian Centre, No. 5 Tomquin Close, off Peter Odili Road, Port Harcourt.
Following the service, members convened for a fellowship lunch meeting where they reviewed key achievements from 2025 and discussed the draft of the 2026 work plan, which will be presented for approval at a subsequent meeting.
In 2025, the Rivers State Chapter implemented several impactful nutrition activities, including community nutrition education sessions on maternal, infant and young child feeding (MIYCF), nutrition awareness campaigns on healthy diets and non-communicable disease prevention.
The chapter also participated in nutrition events and outreach programmes to promote food safety and optimal dietary practices among vulnerable populations.
Members also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening advocacy for improved nutrition policies, supporting evidence-based practice, and expanding community engagement initiatives in 2026 to further enhance nutrition outcomes in Rivers State.
