Human Rights, Food Justice, and SSB Tax Capacity Building

On July 1, 2024, the Corporate Accountability and Public Participation organised a one-day capacity building event on Human Rights, Food Justice, and Sugar-sweetened Beverages (SSB) Tax at the Dover Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.
The event provided a venue for participants to engage with knowledge, not only to understand and support the SSB tax campaign, but also to demand effective policies for improved healthy diets and to become part of a growing movement dedicated to minimising the country's NCD burden. 
Akinbode Oluwafemi, CAPPA's Executive Director, gave the welcome address and  highlighted how the food industry utilises the media to influence the public. Fidelis Obaniyi, a Research Associate at CSEA, led the discussion on the expense of diseases associated by bad eating habits. Participants proposed practical methods for advancing Healthy Food Policy in Nigeria.
