WINDHOEK， Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Namibian Agronomic Board (NAB) has passed a resolution stipulating that by April 1， 2017， food fortification will be a licence requirement for all millers who supply milled grain to the general public.

NAB in the recent months has spearheaded an initiative to broaden the practice of fortifying milled Mahangu and white maize meal as well as wheat flour with micronutrients.

According to the board， once a predetermined ratio of micronutrient cocktail is added to the milled product， the commodity that is sold to the public is significantly increased in nutritional value and has the potential of mitigating avoidable illnesses such as stunted growth and wasting.

Former Prime Minister of Namibia， founder and Chairman of the Namibia Alliance for Improved Nutrition said that adding micronutrients to processed grain and cereals to enrich the nutritional quality of food is standard practice around the world and helps to promote public health.

Currently in Namibia， the practice of fortification is not yet compulsory even though some of the bigger milling operations have been fortifying their meal and flour on a voluntary basis for some time.

UNITED NATIONS， Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The World Food Programme (WFP) on Thursday said that it is scaling up its assistance to reach more than 1.5 million people in desperate need in the Lake Chad Basin， as further areas become accessible inside Nigeria， UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters here.

"Across the Basin， the UN estimates that over nine million people need humanitarian assistance，" Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here. "In the areas impacted by Boko Haram violence， almost one in three people suffers from moderate to severe food insecurity."

WFP urgently needs support to continue to provide food and nutritional assistance to displaced and host communities alike， he said， adding that 72 million U.S. dollars are required over the next six months.

The Chad Basin is the largest endorheic drainage basin in Africa， centered on Lake Chad. It has no outlet to the sea and contains large areas of desert or semi-arid savanna. The basin spans seven countries， including most of Chad and a large part of Niger.

In the areas affected by Boko Haram violence， nearly five million face hunger. Unless life-saving assistance is provided fast， hunger will only deepen during the current lean and rainy season， which lasts until September， the United Nations said in August.

The Nigeria-based extremist group Boko Haram seeks to impose strict Islamic law in northern Nigeria. Its insurgency has killed tens of thousands of people and has affected Nigeria's neighboring countries in the region.

Nigeria is heading up a multinational joint task force along with Cameroon， Chad， Niger and Benin to fight Boko Haram terrorists and bring back stability to the region.
