Federal Government has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to resuscitate meat haulage system in Nigeria by flagging-off distribution of refrigerated Meat Vans to Butchers and Meat Seller’s Association to commence the process of modernized meat haulage system in their respective States.
Speaking during the National Stakeholders Workshop on Meat Hygiene /Distribution of Refrigerated Meat Vans to Butchers and Meat Seller’s Association in Abuja recently, the Hon. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar said that the quest to address the issues concerning meat haulage was as result of concerns expressed for not ensuring safety of our foods which has caused huge amount of money in foreign exchange and has continued to limit Nigeria’s full participation in trade of most agricultural commodities outside the shores of the country.
He revealed that meat haulage was the act of transporting meat from one location to another, either within the abattoir premises or between the abattoirs in Nigeria today do not conform to global best practices that guarantees safety for transporters, the carcass and the consumers.
Abubakar pointed out that ‘’ the practice was undesired especially where carcasses had to be transported on wheel barrows ,open vans ,pick up vans , among others thereby exposing the meat to high level contamination and quality compromised’’.
Speaking further, the Minister stated that the ministry in collaboration with financial institutions and private investors expected that each state of the Federation would start with at least Five (5) refrigerated meat vans including the one that was donated free from the Federal Government through the Ministry.
Dr. Abubakar, therefore, noted that come May 29th, 2023, anyone caught transporting meat in contravention of the modern meat haulage protocols, would be left with no option than to have his/her carcasses.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Ernest Umakhihe represented by the Director, Veterinary & Pest Control Services,Dr. Maimuna Habib said meat hygiene was an important aspect of food safety that should not be handled with kid gloves ,nothing that it was in recognition of the perishable nature of meat and meat offal that necessitated the need to improve on the operation of meat processing.
He pointed out that apart from the need to sanitize and bring meat haulage system in international standard ,the operation had the potential to create sustainable jobs to youths in Nigeria ,adding that it was worthy of note that ,few states and investors had already keyed into the roadmap that guaranteed delivery of safe and qualitative meat to consumers.
Umakhihe, however, noted that Ministry had contributed to the drafting of the National Food Safety and Quality Bill that had passed third reading at the National Assembly.
In his remarks, the National President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Alhaji Baba Ngelzarma commended the Hon. Minister for the laudable initiative and called for an urgent need to train butchers and Meat sellers Association.

FMARD, PARTNERS HOLD REGIONAL SUMMIT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF FARMERS-HERDERS CONFLICT
Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) in collaboration with its development partners organised a regional summit to address the issues of farmers- herders’ conflict to create peaceful coexistence, food and nutrition security.
Speaking during the Summit held recently in Abuja, the Minister, Federal Ministry Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar said that the Summit with the theme “Promoting Peace and Climate Security in the Crop and Livestock farming Sectors” provided the opportunity for dialogue and discourse on the way forward for achieving peaceful coexistence between crop farmers and livestock herders whose incessant conflict in the region was threatening food and national security in Nigeria.
Abubakar stated that the surge in the age-long conflict had been recently attributed to the complex interaction between the changing nature of the availability and access to natural resources (land and water) in the region as a result of the effects of climate change, adding that other factors include the rapidly rising population of humans and livestock, diminishing arable and grazing lands, among others.
He pointed out that Farmers-herders conflict predated the existence of Nigeria as an independent, sovereign nation, noting that it was a conflict that the previous and current generations of farmers and herders, especially rural dwellers have come to know and managed properly using traditional methods.
In his words, “the dimensions it has taken lately call for deep introspection into unravelling the causes of the heightened, unwarranted attacks by both actors in the conflict and more innovative ways of addressing it”.
Speaking further, he revealed that Natural resources are under increasing stress due to climate change, leading to fierce competition and violent conflicts over their use. While climate change was not a precursor to the migration of herders to the southern and north-central of Nigeria, it had increased their migration from areas with a high frequency of drought and lower availability of natural resources to the southern forest zone with better resources for their livestock.
The Minister commended the organizers of the event, the Ministry and its partners, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) among others, for creating opportunities for dialogue, strengthening peace-building mechanisms, investing in initiatives that foster economic interdependence between herders and farmers as well as fostering social protection measures against sensitive conflicts in the country.
In a goodwill message, the Chairman, House Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, Hon. Muntari Dandutse said that the summit was timely especially at this critical time when the world is faced with lots of challenges in food production citing the Ukraine- Russian issues among others.
He stated that Federal Government was doing a lot to solve the conflict between farmers and Herders by supporting the State Government but unfortunately, it had trickled down.
Hon. Muntari, therefore emphasized the need for fund given to the State Government to be utilized effectively down to the level of local Government.
In her remarks, the Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory, Dr. Ramatu Tijani Aliyu said the upsurge in conflict between farmers and herders also posed a threat to peaceful co-existence between communities.
Highlight of the event was the interactive session, inspection and exhibition of Dairy products, among others.
In attendance were the Executive Governor of Kebbi State, Hon. Minister of State, FCT, HRH, Emir of Nasarawa State, the Chairman, House Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, Ghana High Commissioner among others.

FMARD, STAKEHOLDERS STRATEGIZE TO RESUSCITATE YAM EXPORTATION
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in collaboration with other relevant Stakeholders have taken steps to resuscitate yam exportation in the country to boost national wealth creation, food security amongst others.
In a workshop, held recently in Abuja, stakeholders deliberated and synergized on the measures to address the challenges hindering the smooth process of yam export.
In his address to declare the workshop open, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Ernest Umakhihe represented by the Director, Federal Department of Agriculture, Engr. Abdullahi Garba Abubakar said that the aim of the meeting was to resuscitate the Nation’s consciousness on the export of yam for national wealth creation, increase income for farmers and job creation, noting that the workshop was timely as Nigeria was diversifying its economy towards non- oil export commodities.
Dr. Umakhihe said that, “Nigeria is the leading producer of fresh yams, yet it is unfortunate to note that despite the huge production, Nigeria is nowhere in the map of countries that export yams.”
He warned that “if we must have sustainable food security for our teeming population of over 200 million Nigerian people and have enough to export to other countries, there is need to critically examine the factors militating against quality production and export of our major commodities of which yam is one of them.”
The Permanent Secretary added that “It therefore become imperative to put Nigeria in its right position by considering its contribution to global production.
Speaking further, he emphasized that In 2020 Nigeria contributed 67% while Ghana 10% to global output. However, Ghana remains the second highest world exporter of yam for over ten years and the highest in West Africa with 94% to annual export contribution.
The Permanent Secretary expressed optimism that Nigeria can earn six times more than Ghana based on her production capacity.
He therefore stressed that to achieve the enormous task of repositioning yam for as an export crop, deliberate action must be made to take yam production, processing and marketing to the next level in line with international best practices.
In his remarks, the Director, Federal Department of Agriculture, Engr. Abdullahi Garba Abubakar represented by Deputy Director Nutrition Division, Dr. Oyeleke Oshadiya stated that yam, a variable crop was second to non in Nigeria.
He added that the workshop had provided an avenue for stakeholders in the sector to deliberate on the way forward in order to boost the income and improve the standards of living of yam farmers to bring prosperity to all yam value chain players.
In his good will message, the National President, Yam Farmers and Marketers Association of Nigeria, Prof. Simon Irtwange commended the ministry for organizing the workshop and hoped that it would become an annual event.
He highlighted some of the challenges the Association was faced with to include funding, certification among others.
