The Executive Secretary of National Sugar Development Council (NSDC), Dr. Lateef Busari, has disclosed that the sugar intake in Nigeria is very low, compared with other countries in the world.
He made this known while addressing a news conference on Thursday in Abuja.
His words below:
"On the basis of per capita consumption, indeed for Nigeria, we are not taking enough sugar. Nigeria is around 11 kilograms per capita He appealed Egypt with 38 kilograms and USA, 32 kilograms.
It is good that Nigerians are still moderate in their sugar intake but we believe as sugar council that it is not enough and we can still go to 15 or 18 kilograms"
