Avoid Foreign Frozen Chicken And Turkey – NAFDAC Warns Nigerians  

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has advised Nigerians against consuming frozen poultry products and other food items preserved with formalin.

Formalin is a poisonous chemical popularly used to preserve the human body in mortuaries.

NAFDAC’s spokesman, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, who gave the word of advice in an interview with NAN, said unscrupulous business owners had been using formalin to preserve poultry products, chicken and turkey, in particular. Formalin is capable of preserving such products for weeks before they get to consumers, he warned.

The NAFDAC spokesman also called the attention of consumers to the economic import of patronizing business owners who smuggle poultry products into the country. He noted that if such patronage continued, indigenous poultry farmers and marketers would not grow as desired, as the money spent on smuggled products would only go to producers of the products.

The convoy of Hon. Chris Emeka Azubogu, lawmaker representing Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Constituency in the House of Representatives, came under gun attack in Anambra State on Thursday.

The lawmaker’s driver was shot dead in the incident.

Azuogbu, who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, was not in the convoy when the assailants struck.

Ikechukwu Onyia, spokesperson of the lawmaker, confirmed the tragic incident.

It gathered that gunmen stormed a funeral ceremony at Ukpo Nnewi South local government area and collected arms from security operatives before heading to Nnewi where they killed the driver.

There has been a high rate of violence in Anambra in the buildup to the November 6, 2021 governorship election.

On Tuesday, Dr Chike Akunyili, widower of former Director-General of the National Agency for Food Administration and Drug Control (NAFDAC), was murdered in broad daylight.

It is unclear if the attack on Azubogu has a political undertone

"In terms of provision of quality leadership and passion for good governance, PDP is the best alternative. This is very much evident in the performance of governors in PDP controlled states. In Anambra today, the party has a candidate who is sellable. Our candidate is working hard to ensure that the party emerges victorious and we are strongly supporting him", the federal lawmaker said.

Speaking further, Ekwunife who is also the chairperson, PDP state governorship campaign council stated that the mammoth crowd at the party's campaign rallies shows wide acceptance of the party by the people of the state. She stressed that Anambrarians have strong confidence in PDP and will vote in the party as a credible replacement for the ruling party in the state.

They are yearning for a radical improvement in almost every sector of the state economy and are ready to effect the necessary political change that will guarantee a prosperous future for them and their children by casting their votes for PDP."

Senator Ekwunife further urged Anambrarians to turn out en masse, cast and protect their votes on the election day, assuring that their votes must count and no party would be allowed to rig the election.

Ekwunife reiterated the need for the government to address the current security challenges in the south-east, emphasising that the protection of lives and property remains the primary responsibilities of every responsible government.

"The killings being reported across the state is quite disturbing. Our people must understand that we cannot achieve our collective aspirations by spilling innocent blood."

Efforts must be made by all stakeholders in the electoral process to ensure the conduct of a free, fair and credible election. I am certain that with PDP at the helm of affairs in the state, Ndi Anambra would be assured of productive, versatile and all-inclusive governance", the ranking Senator assured.
