Three nutrition-focused enterprises clinch victory in this year’s SUN Business Network Pitch Competition, a collaborative effort by FATE Foundation, Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network (SBN), Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), and World Food Programme (WFP).
The competition, held in Lagos, Nigeria, signifies a crucial milestone in combating malnutrition.
Winners, including Babafemi Adejinmi of Gatob Multintegrated Services, Gideon Olaoye of G.O.A Farms, and Saidat Dauda of Abisai Megatop Limited, demonstrated exceptional commitment and innovation in tackling malnutrition challenges.
