FG Set To Ban ‘Ponmo’

Federal Government may have concluded plans to ban sale and widespread consumption of hides and skins (PONMO) which is a delicacy to most Nigerians.

This indication emerged Tuesday  when the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina called for competent regulations that would check the consumption and sale of the product

If this is achieved, he noted that livestock farmers would stand good chances of making high dollar return if the hides and skins are tanned into leather.
