The Nigerian government has said it is working hard to stop the rejection of Nigeria’s food items and other goods exported out of the country, describing the situation as worrisome and affecting the country economically.
The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, spoke in Lagos State during the opening of a six-day training for members of the National Codex Committee on Food Safety Risk Analysis and the revised NCC procedural manual organised in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Daily Trust reports.
Ehanire, who is the chairman of the committee, represented by the Director and National Coordinator for Food Safety and Quality Programme, Mr Atanda John, said it was created “to ensure protection of food, ensure you take good and safe food and also to ensure fair practice in international food trade.
“We have been hearing of rejection of our foods; it’s because there’s no adherence to that standard, and this is not giving the country a good image. It’s affecting us economically tourism wise and in every other aspect.”
He said all stakeholders must play their roles to reduce the prevalence of Nigeria’s food items abroad.
The FAO Country Representative, Fred Kafeero, who was represented by the NCC Focal Person, Sadiya Haliru, explained that the training was approved by the FAO in Nigeria with support from the FAO Regional Office in Accra, Ghana, to build capacities of NCC members for more active participation and contribution to Codex work and activities at the national, regional and global levels.
She said, “It is expected that the outcome of this programme shall have significant impact on Nigeria’s agricultural production system and value chain, reduce the risks on health to consumers, food producers, processors, importers/exporters and the economy.”

Buhari is a bad market.

Okay...


Nigeria has been in bondage under her conventional politicians. It's quite sad and shameful that these set of people would not care less about restoring the prestige and pride of place of Nigeria, at least, to lay Nigeria in an honorable position.

Do Nigerians even value what they have here?

Imagine this; Tinubu and Buhari do not value the health system of Nigeria that, instead of striving to bring about development in the Health sector of Nigeria, they are visiting France and UK respectively. Tinubu even claims to have developed Lagos but will never be stupid enough to visit any hospital there.

What message are they passing to foreigners?

Atiku on the other hand never advocated for or worked towards stabilizing electricity in Nigeria. He'd rather import Mikano generators.

Which foreign country would then take Nigeria seriously?

This is why they're always at the neck of Peter Obi each time he talks about moving Nigeria from consumption to production.

Bad government,bad market

Even the little people are using to keep body and soul together....

Everything is rejection in Buhari's time....
