Federal Government Issues 7 Day Shut-down Warning To Shoprite by harbdulrasaq88(m): 10:01am On Oct 15, 2016 |
The Federal Government has issued a seven-day ultimatum to retail store giants, Shoprite and Next Cash ‘N’ Carry to withdraw any product that contains Genetically Modified Organisms from their shelves or risk a total shutdown. Director-General, National Biosafety Management Agency, NBMA, Dr. Rufus Ebegba, issued the warning in Abuja on Friday during a meeting with representatives of the two mega shops. Egbeda said the agency had received complaints from members of the public about the sale of GMO foods in the two stores. His words, “Recently, we carried out a survey of likely GMO products and we have been able to have some collections, some materials that we call GMO suspects. We call them GMO suspects because we have not been able to ascertain their status. “There is a law in place. We will not want any segment of the society out of ignorance to act in manners that will infringe on the law. The Biosafety Management Act empowers the NBMA to regulate the activities of modern biotechnology and the use of genetically modified organisms. “If they have any GMO food in their stores, they should withdraw them from their shelves within seven days. The NBMA will not hesitate to shut down those stores found selling GMO products. We will not want to see any GMO food in your stores. We urge you to comply with this Act. “Please, it is an advice and this advice is not without a legal backing. So, we urge you to withdraw all GMO foods from your shelves and formalise your dealings by obtaining permits,” the NBMA boss warned.” http://www.newshelm.com/2016/10/federal-government-issues-7-day-shut.html cc lalasticlala |
