Article Synopsis
- Salt iodization in Nigeria has seen success as a public-private partnership but is now facing challenges due to poor implementation and regulation, leading to increased availability of non-iodized salt.
- A study conducted in Ibadan, Oyo state, assessed the awareness and behaviors of salt marketers and consumers regarding iodized salt, involving various market participants through surveys and interviews.
- The findings revealed low awareness of iodization regulations among consumers (only 3%) and highlighted why many preferred non-branded salt, such as cost and quantity, while identifying safe handling practices mainly among wholesalers.
