Exposing the Hidden Dangers in Nigeria's Informal Food Markets My team and I have been investigating food safety in Nigeria's informal markets, and what we've uncovered is alarming. Access to clean water, a basic necessity for food safety and hygiene, is severely lacking. This puts food vendors and consumers at risk of waterborne illnesses and other health hazards. But that's not all - our research has revealed even more shocking truths about the state of food safety in these markets. Stay tuned for our full documentary video, where we'll reveal the full extent of our findings and the impact it has on public health. In the meantime, we're taking action. Food Doctors Nigeria Limited is launching a project to install mobile water treatment kiosks in informal markets across Nigeria, starting with one market at a time. This game-changing initiative will provide food vendors with access to clean water, promoting a culture of food safety and protecting public health. Watch out for our full documentary video, coming soon! In it, we'll take you deep into the heart of Nigeria's informal markets and expose the hidden dangers that threaten our health. You won't want to miss it! #FoodSafety #InformalMarkets #Nigeria #WaterAccess #MobileWaterTreatment #FoodDoctorsNg #Documentary #ComingSoon #WatchOut #FoodSafetyMatters #PublicHealth" #fooddoctorsng WaterAid FoodSafety4Africa
