FG Warns Of Beef, Dairy Products Scarcity by Truth234(m): 6:30am On Aug 14, 2017 |
The federal government has raised the alarm on the rising demand for beef in the country, vis-a-vis its availability, saying the gap could lead to the scarcity of beef and dairy products in the country. The outlook was given by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at a meeting with members of the Governing Councils of the three Federal Universities of Agriculture in Abeokuta, Makurdi and Umudike. Ogbeh said the country was consuming more cows per day than it was actually breeding, warning that if the disparity was not controlled, it would not be long before the country runs out of beef supply. Lagos State, according to him, has the largest consumption share of 6,000 cows per day. He added that the daily demand for cow meat was equally high in the FCT and five other states including, Rivers, Abia, Imo, Oyo, and Kano. “We are consuming more cows than we are calving. Lagos State alone consumes 6,000 cows per day. Add the figure from Rivers, Abia, Imo, Oyo, Kano States and FCT, it might not be long before we run out of beef,” Ogbeh said. He described the local cattle breed as about the least in the world, adding on the average Nigerian cows produce less than a litre of milk per day. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates, Nigeria needs about 1.5 billion litres of milk annually. Ogbeh said due to the gap, government was spending billions to import powdered and reconstituted milk of low quality without any effect as 37 per cent of Nigerian children are malnourished. He appealed to the university community to rise up to the challenges by teaching people artificial insemination, saying their prompt response is key towards resolving the crises. The minister explained that Nigeria cattle produce low dairy yields daily arising from undernourishment and the grazing system for pasture. “In East Africa, they achieve 15 litres, some 20 litres. In Europe, they achieve 50 litres. The secrets are breeds and nutrition. Here, the roaming cows look lean, with poor meat quality. Cows are not meant to march around. They are not horses,’’ he said. The minister also enjoined the agriculture universities to be more innovative and enterprising by making it mandatory for every undergraduate to own a farm from 200 level to graduation while examinations should dwell 60 per cent on the success on the farm and 40 per cent on academic work. http://investorsking.com/fg-warns-of-beef-dairy-products-scarcity/ 5 Likes 2 Shares |

What does Audu Ogbeh know? His senses have not been the same since he received that brain-resetting slap from Obasanjo on that cold morning of January 10, 2005. Meat can never be scarce, We have bushmeat, we have dogmeat, we have fish, we also have anu-mmadu. The FG is indirectly trying to tell us the Fulani Herdsmen are indispensable. No they aren't. They should take their cows back to the North. Our ancestors did not eat Hausa cow meat and they thrived well. Fulani must leave the South. 65 Likes 4 Shares |

The so called honesty of Buhari is very dubious. His famed integrity is mere whitewashing propaganda. His own words, actions and inactions puts him at par with any corrupt and ineffective administration Buhari clearly said he will stop foreign medicals for elected officers... 3 months now he is in London Buhari did not declare his wealth after he won Buhari said Abacha did not steal and was not corrupt Buhari kinsmen which means cousins, nephews and in laws control all the major financial decisions in Nigeria Buratai and his boys have been fingered in many corruption scandals but they are leading our military arm Buhari kinsmen stole food donated by Saudi Arabia for IDPs but no one has been punished CBN was caught selling dollars to the cabal at ridiculous rates when businesses were shutting down due to forex but no one was punished. Silent recruitment in all top tier positions of Buhari kinsmen and cohorts Lopsided appointment of his people into government positions and jobs Media has been silenced with threats and bribes. Even boko haram atrocities are no longer reported Release of boko haram suspects is a daily reality Corruption in INEC. All the elections conducted under Buhari has showed gross rigging by INEC in collusion with the police for APC. Buhari is spending millions of naira sending his children to school abroad. Gej daughters schooled in UNIPORT Nigeria. Buhari children are marrying oil block private jet billionaires yet GEJ daughter is a commoner, struggling like the rest of us... a redeem church usher living in calabar with her husband The same president condemned Yar adua during his ill health yet they are after protesters who condemn his hold on power even when not fit Thousands have been killed by the army... shites and ipob yet they still want us to gej did worse? Every industry is worse off now than under gej Millions of jobs lost due to useless forex restrictions. These restrictions have been relaxed under Osibanjo grin meanwhile they ensured the cabal got enough for dollars up north 41 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria has population and land, but no one wants to be a farmer, Indian film lovers, you'll agree with me that those cows in their films are always very fat and meaty, but welcome to Nigeria during dry season, you'll even start seeing the bones of the cows like skeletons. raining season the bloody Fulani herdsmen, won't let farmers farm in peace with their hungry looking cows. If cow meat wan scarce, please do so that we can start eating fish, chicken, Turkey. No be only beef be better meat. |

Nigeria former Agricole minister did so well our products were being exported. Now all we gear is looming scarcity. Is oil price affecting the cattle too? The useless media refused to acknowledge the last government efforts in Agriculture.
