Nigeria’s House of Representatives considers a bill aimed at regulating the nutrition profession and reducing “quackery” in the country. Multiple reports say the legislation seeks to establish a statutory regulatory framework through the creation of a Nutritionists Registration Council of Nigeria. The proposal is presented as a way to strengthen public health by improving professional standards and ensuring accountability among practitioners. It also links the regulation of nutrition services to wider efforts to address malnutrition and food insecurity, which are cited as ongoing public health challenges. While the sources focus on the bill’s intent and the institutional mechanism it would create, they do not provide additional details such as the bill’s final provisions, timelines, or enforcement powers. The reports indicate that lawmakers are advancing the measure in committee debate and discussion, with the goal of moving the profession under formal oversight. Overall, the coverage aligns on the bill’s purpose: to formalize nutrition practice, standardize professional conduct, and limit unqualified individuals from practicing.
