As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, we recognize the transformative power of exclusive breastfeeding in shaping a child’s future. This journey, though led by mothers, is a collective responsibility that relies on the pivotal support of fathers, husbands, and the broader community.

The supportive roles of fathers and husbands can significantly impact the success of exclusive breastfeeding, bridging the gap between a healthy, thriving child and a poorly developed one.

In an era where concerns surround the cost, safety, nutritional value, and quality of baby foods, exclusive breastfeeding stands as a beacon of hope. In this special first person report on LightRay!

Africa has only 900 museums, with Nigeria contributing just 52 national museums, 44 state owned museums and 100 private owned museums. In stark contrast, the United States boasts 35,000 museums, and Europe is 15,000.

Across the world, African cultural artefacts, paintings, sculpture, and cultural expressions adorn the guilded cages and box glasses of museums.

Media, we identify and address the gaps, threats, and solutions for the preservation and significance of African museums with some of the best minds in the arts and culture landcaspe.
