The United Nations Children’s Fund has said that Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara States will need $15 million to upscale the quality of life of their citizenry.
The UNICEF Representative in Nigeria, Christian Munduate, said this at a news briefing in Gusau yesterday shortly after holding an interactive session with stakeholders from Gidanwada Model Primary School in Bungudu Local Government Area.
Munduate said that the governors of the three states needs to provide matching grants to address the socioeconomic challenges and provide a quality life for their citizens.
She regretted the prevalence of malnourished children and nursing mothers in the three states
