                                In Nigeria, 32 percent of children under five suffer from stunted growth due to malnutrition. This statistic underscores the severity of hidden hunger, a form of undernutrition where essential micronutrients are lacking, even when a diet may appear sufficient in calories. It is a silent crisis that has serious repercussions on public health and national development.
