Speaking on the enforcement, the State Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms. @Abi_Olusanya, explained that the exercise was in furtherance of the State’s sanitation and reform of the red meat value chain aimed at producing only wholesome meat for the consumption of its citizenry.
Olusanya disclosed that during the operation at the New Alade Market, three butchers were arrested and 29 live goats, three live sheep, 14 slaughtered goats as well as meat carcass weighing 30kg were confiscated.

She added that over 1.5 tonnes of meat carcass confiscated at the Idi Ogbo in Eleko during the exercise were also donated to the Bab-El-Salam Home and Correctional Home for Boys, Oregun.

According to her, illegal slaughter slabs, abattoirs and meat markets pose a health hazard to the State and its residents because the animals slaughtered in those places are not inspected by veterinary officials thus, the wholesomeness of such meat could not be ascertained.
#LASG
Olusanya appealed to all operators of illegal abattoirs and slaughter slabs in the State to desist from such harmful activities, while urging residents to only patronise approved meat shops and abattoirs for their meat products in order to ensure the safety of the meat consumed.

The General Hospital, Ijede, has joined the rest of the world to mark the World Immunisation Week with a call to the citizens to embrace immunisation, stressing that the administration of vaccines is highly effective in reducing the severity or spread of diseases.
#LASG
The Principal Nursing Officer (PNO) in Charge of Child Welfare Clinic at the facility, Mrs. Mary Okoh, stated this in her address at the ‘Health Talk’ organised by the hospital for breastfeeding mothers as part of activities to commemorate the Y2021 World Immunisation Week.

According to her, getting immunised reduces an individual’s chance of dying or being infected with a particular type of disease or virus, as the vaccine builds the immune system and reduces the chance of being hospitalised.

@jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @gbenga_omo #ForAGreaterLagos
The law, which will set up a commission to rein in corruption, has been hailed by lawyers as a step forward for true federalism. But some critics say without any proof - that its motive is to protect some personalities. This is wrong, @gbenga_omo said.
