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.
Local Abbattoir |
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.
Modern Abattoir |
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.
