LAGOS State Government began the dislodgement of illegal slaughter slabs in the State today, in furtherance of the sanitization of the red meat value chain.
Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture in a Twitter post revealed that the re-inaugurated Monitoring, Enforcement and Compliance Team dislodged an illegal slaughter slab at Oke Rube, Ikotun, Alimosho Local Government.
Recall that over the weekend, the State Acting Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, had announced that the Lagos State Government is set to commence the dislodgement of illegal slabs, as well as the monitoring of all veterinary premises across the State, from Tuesday, September 1, 2020, during the re-inauguration of the Monitoring, Enforcement and Compliance (MEC) Team of the Ministry.
She noted that the dislodgement is necessary, especially as the State remains particular about producing wholesome and healthy meat for its residents while simultaneously ensuring that the streets are free of stray animals.
