Bread, snacks, biscuits, noodles and seasoning cubes are major hidden sources of salt,\u201d she said.<br \/>She explained that during previous outreach campaigns in Abuja and Kano, many Nigerians discovered for the first time that they were hypertensive.<br \/>\u201cSome blood pressure readings were dangerously high, and doctors recommended immediate hospital visits. People walk around feeling fine, unaware that their blood pressure is dangerously high. That is why sudden deaths are sometimes wrongly attributed to spiritual causes,\u201d White-Agbo warned.<br \/>She emphasised that regular blood pressure checks and dietary awareness are critical in preventing non-communicable diseases.<br \/>\u201cPrevention is better than cure. Salt is not harmless. What we eat today determines our health tomorrow,\u201d White-Agbo said.<br \/>Speaking, the Scientific Officer at the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Mr. Victor Osuagwu, said excessive salt is a major contributor to Nigeria\u2019s rising cardiovascular disease rates.<br \/>\u201cOur investigations found that Nigerians are consuming far above the WHO benchmark for salt. The National Guideline on Sodium Reduction has been launched, setting limits for packaged foods and monitoring sodium content in manufactured products,\u201d he said.<br \/>He added that seasoning cubes are not inherently harmful, but excessive use contributes significantly to high sodium intake.<br \/>\u201cWe are not telling Nigerians to stop using salt, only to reduce excess use. Our slogan is: \u2018Let your health guide your taste.\u2019 These habits are learned, and they can be changed,\u201d Osuagwu explained.<br \/>He said the campaign, now over a year old, has visited Abuja, Kano, and Lagos markets, with plans to expand to all 36 states, bringing the message that reducing salt today could save lives tomorrow.<br \/>Throwing more light on the campaign and implications of excessive salt consumption, a Medical doctor and health educator, Dr. Olawale Ogunlana, described high sodium intake as a ticking time bomb.<br \/>He said most Nigerians are cooking a recipe for hypertension.<br \/>\u201cHypertension is a leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa. Many Nigerians don\u2019t realise that the salt in their stews, rice, seasoning cubes and snacks is pushing them toward serious health risks,\u201d he said.<br \/>Quoting WHO recommendations, he noted that adults should consume no more than five grammes of salt daily, about one teaspoon.<br \/>\u201cWhen you combine table salt, seasoning cubes, and processed foods, you are compounding the problem. Anyone cooking noodles and still adding extra seasoning cubes is cooking a recipe for hypertension in the near future,\u201d he warned.<br \/>He advised Nigerians to use natural spices such as ginger, garlic, and onions to flavour food instead of relying on high-sodium seasonings.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/02\/hidden-salt-killing-nigerians-fg-cssi-rtsl-storm-markets\/\">Hidden salt killing Nigerians \u2013 FG CSSI, RTSL storm markets<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <\/p>\n<p>The Federal Government in collaboration has taken its nationwide campaign against excessive salt intake directly to Lagos markets, warning Nigerians that \u201chidden salt\u201d in everyday foods is fueling a silent health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/02\/hidden-salt-killing-nigerians-fg-cssi-rtsl-storm-markets\/\">Hidden salt killing Nigerians \u2013 FG CSSI, RTSL storm markets<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>, <!-- no image -->, Nwafor, {authorlink},, , Vanguard News, February 21, 2026, 12:10 am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hidden salt killing Nigerians \u2013 FG CSSI, RTSL storm markets, \u2026 Say bread, snacks, seasoning cubes among hidden sources of salt\u20261.9m deaths linked to excess salt worldwideBy Chioma Obinna The Federal Government in collaboration has taken its nationwide campaign against excessive salt intake directly to Lagos markets, warning Nigerians that \u201chidden salt\u201d in everyday foods [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17153,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.vanguardngr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-20-at-10.14.57-AM-1024x768.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[879,1865,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-hidden-salt","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
