Lead exposure remains one of the most significant yet preventable environmental public health threats in Nigeria, particularly affecting children under five, pregnant women, and populations exposed through environmental and consumer product pathways. Increasing evidence points to consumer products—such as cosmetics, spices, and other locally available goods—as important and under-addressed sources of exposure. The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (FMoHSW), under the leadership of the Honourable Minister of State for Health, plays a central role in coordinating national efforts to reduce lead exposure through policy development, stakeholder coordination, surveillance, and public health interventions, in collaboration with key regulatory agencies including the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). Significant progress has already been made in addressing lead exposure in Nigeria, including the development of a national lead poisoning policy and multisectoral coordination frameworks, as well as RTSL-supported efforts in laboratory capacity assessment reports and legal landscape assessments. There is now a critical need to build on these gains by accelerating implementation and strengthening enforcement of existing regulations, while advancing national policy frameworks and increasing government resource allocation—particularly for consumer product-related exposures.
