The Federal Government has pledged support for the local poultry industry.
The support was contained in a speech
delivered by the Director-General of the National Agency for Food and
Drug Administration and Control, Dr. Paul Orhii, during his tour of a
chicken farm, Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery, according to a statement
issued by the company,
During the tour, NAFDAC certified the
firm’s Natnudo brand of chicken, noting that the whole production
process of the company was in line with international standard and best
practices and should be emulated by other players in the industry.
Orhii
said, “What I am seeing today are the kinds of facilities we have seen
only in developed countries and which I had prayed will one day be
available in Nigeria”.
“This facility has now made it possible
for Nigerians to enjoy high quality locally produced chicken which is
guaranteed to meet their protein needs”.
“I want to assure you again of
government’s support for the local poultry industry and also of our
commitment to educating Nigerians on consumption of fresh frozen
chicken.
Orhii pledged that the agency would work
closely with Nigeria Customs Service and other relevant agencies to
ensure they record more successes in the quest to completely eradicate
the consumption of unwholesome chicken in Nigeria.
Appreciating the NAFDAC team for their
commendations, the Group Managing Director of Amo Farm Sieberer Hatchery
Ltd, Dr. Ayoola Oduntan, said it was the desire to provide good quality
poultry products for Nigerians that inspired their investment in
state-of-the-art facilities.
He said, “The company has been a front
runner in innovation in this industry, introducing the first-ever
designer egg in the country in 2010 which is enriched with Vitamin E and
organic selenium and highly recommended for children, pregnant women
and lactating mothers.”
Oduntan added that the nutrients in
natnudO super eggs worked together to aid improved memory and learning
capabilities in children as well as improved brain and visual
developments in babies and infants, a balanced immune system, good skin,
eyes, hair and promote delay in the ageing process.
He said the firm had gone further to
introduce more affordable poultry products – natnudO Quarter Chicken and
natnudO Half Chicken packs so that every Nigerian can have access to
qualityPoultry meat.
He admonished Nigerians to be proud to encourage Nigerian industries by patronising Made-in-Nigeria products
