“…However, at national compliance levels reported in 2013, just 8% and 76% of VA RNI is met at mean and 95th percentile consumption, respectively. It is important to note that the consumption figures used were estimated from 2010 expenditure data .

“…It is important to note that the consumption figures used were estimated from 2010 expenditure data. 38 Reports using data on a per capita supply of sugar, vegetable oil, and wheat flour have documented higher consumption of these vehicles, with Ogunmoyela et al 36 reporting 19.2, 18.5, and 50.0 g/day mean consumption of sugar, vegetable oils, and wheat/maize flours, respectively. At these higher mean consumption rates, women will receive 103-141% of their VA RNI at full compliance.…”

Consumers at the 95th percentile (P95) had intakes of 565 and 1614 g/AME/day of fresh and dry cassava, respectively.…”

Nigeria has an alarming prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies that has persisted over decades. National Micronutrient Deficiency Control (MNDC) guidelines describe several interventions to address the issue. This study identified and described currently implemented interventions, assessed coverage and coordination of the interventions, and considered the risk of overdosage and gaps. Methods included reviews of policy and program documents, key informant interviews, market, and pharmacy visits. The study found that an array of MNDC interventions were being implemented, including public health supplementation, mandatory fortification, point‐of‐use fortification, biofortification, promotion of dietary diversity, voluntary fortification, and ad hoc individual supplement use. Insufficient coordination existed for government, private, and civil society interventions within the health sector and between health and other sectors. Dosages of micronutrients supplied by different interventions were set independently of each other and target populations overlapped. Inadequate implementation of various interventions appeared to reduce the risk of excessive micronutrient intakes, but increased the risk of deficiencies. The risk of excessive intakes will likely increase with improved implementation and scale‐up. There is a need to develop effective coordination structures for MNDC in Nigeria that will critically examine the landscape, decide modalities for different interventions, and ensure that both deficiencies and risk of excessive intakes are minimized.

“…The unprocessed (and thus uneatable) yam was shown to be of (marginally) better protein quality for the first SAA and second (lysine) limiting amino acids (DIAAS > 75 for population > 3 years of age). For both groundnuts and cowpeas, the first limiting amino acid was also lysine (DIAAS 27-38), the second SAA (groundnut DIAAS 40-58; cowpea DIAAS [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. The DIAAS of rice, maize, wheat and sorghum were, respectively, 42-69, 37-53, 30-43 and 18-26.…”

Protein is important for growth, maintenance and protection of the body. Both adequacy of protein quantity and protein quality in the diet are important to guarantee obtaining all the essential amino acids. Protein-energy malnutrition is widely present in developing countries such as Nigeria and might result in stunting and wasting. Needs for protein differ depending on age and physiological status and are higher during growth, pregnancy and lactation. The present review assessed protein quantity and quality in diets of Nigerian infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant and lactating women. Literature reviews and calculations were performed to assess adequacy of Nigerian protein intake and to examine the Nigerian diet. The digestible indispensable amino acid score was used to calculate protein quality of nine Nigerian staple foods and of a mixture of foods. The Nigerian population had mostly adequate protein intake when compared with the most recent protein recommendations by the FAO (2013) and WHO/FAO/UNU (2007). An important exception was the protein intake of adolescent girls and pregnant and lactating women. Most of the assessed Nigerian plant-based staple foods were of low protein quality and predominantly lacked the amino acid lysine. The addition of animal-source foods can bridge the protein quality gap created by predominance of plant-based foods in the Nigerian diet. The methodology of this review can be applied to other low-and middle-income countries where diets are often plant-based and lack variety, which might influence protein intake adequacy.Abbreviations: AAA, aromatic amino acids; DIAAS, digestible indispensable amino acid score; EAR, estimated average requirement; LOS, level of satisfaction; PDCAAS, protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score; PEM, protein-energy malnutrition; RDA, recommended daily allowance; SAA, sulfur amino acid.
