He said that the result of the survey would provide national and zonal level estimates of the major causes of under-five mortality in Nigeria from 2013 to 2018.
Salu-Hundeyin urged government officials at the state and local government levels, security agencies, traditional rulers, religious leaders, community leaders and media practitioners to give necessary support for the exercise.
