Kogi State now offers six months of paid maternity leave and 14 days of paid paternity leave, boosting support for breastfeeding mothers and new fathers. Announced during the 2025 World Breastfeeding Week, the policy aims to create a nurturing environment for infants’ health and strengthen family bonds.
Health Commissioner Dr. Adeiza Abdulazeez said the move reflects the government’s commitment to maternal and child health and could set a model for other states. The initiative aligns with this year’s breastfeeding theme, urging communities to prioritize and support mothers.
