Participants explored opportunities for working with the agency and other critical stakeholders on how to seek viable alternatives to the use of industrially-produced Trans Fatty Acids, TFAs, in Nigeria’s food system.
In 2019, the regulatory agency made a draft of the two regulations available on its website for comments from the public.
The approval of the regulations has, however, been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has taken centre stage in government engagements.
At the virtual meeting, Professor Adeyeye highlighted the efforts the agency had put in place to ensure that the regulations are passed and effectively enforced.
She commended the Trans Fat-free Nigeria campaign stakeholders for the sustained efforts to see the regulations passed and encouraged them to continue the work with relevant departments of the agency to achieve the campaign objectives.

th of February is World Sustainable Energy Day, and as we know, a move towards using more sustainable sources of energy is vital to protect our planet from global warming. It also benefits the end user through lower electricity bills and in South Africa this in turn means less pressure on the national grid.
In light of this, Brights Hardware has prepared a list of ideas on how you can embrace more sustainable solutions in your home. They will also help cut your costs every month and once you have stocked up on alternative sources of power, light and heat it becomes a breeze to weather a few hours of (inevitable) load shedding.
