Nigerians have been warned by the Federal Government against the consumption of frozen chicken as such process chicken causes kidney and other diseases.
Minister of State for Agriculture, Heineken Lokpobiri, told State House correspondents that the warning was given during a meeting with Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo held with the president of the Poultry Farmers’ Association of Nigeria Mr Ayoola Oduntan.
The minister noted that “Most times, they use what they use to preserve dead bodies (to preserve frozen chicken) and it causes harm to the kidney.”
Lokpobiri said the meeting specifically charged the Nigeria Customs Service to improve its surveillance in order to stop importation of frozen chicken.
