Indiscriminate slaughtering of animal: Lagos set to regulate the act.


Gov. Raji Fashola
The Lagos state government will no longer tolerate the indiscriminate slaughtering of animals just anywhere as it's been practiced now. The state is repositioning the abattoir arrangement in the state to make the activities more hygienic than the way it is being done now, on filthy platforms.

This was made known by Prince Gbolahan Lawal, the State Commissioner for Agriculture & cooperatives during the inauguration of 10-days training for 25 veterinary officers in Lagos. He said that the policy will also boost the capacities of veterinary Doctors and Officers for the implementation of the policy and effective monitoring and inspection of the abattoirs.

The Train the Trainers programme was carried out in conjunction with PWC consultant UK. Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of PWC Consultancy, Kate Okafor also advised the trainees to be ready for change, away from the usual unhygienic meat supply practices and bring about the desired change in the abattoir management in the State.
