Butchers in Kaduna State have praised Governor Uba Sani for upgrading abattoirs across the state, saying the provision of modern cold-chain facilities has ended years of post-slaughter losses, improved hygiene and boosted their incomes.
The butchers, under the auspices of the Butchers Association of Nigeria, Sabon Gari Branch, gave the commendation on Tuesday during a media tour of the upgraded Zango Shanu Modern Abattoir in Sabon Gari Local Government Area.
The tour, organised by the Kaduna State Ministry of Information and Culture, enabled journalists to inspect projects executed by the state government in the northern senatorial district.
Speaking on behalf of the association, Alkasim Mai-Nama said the lack of preservation facilities had for decades forced butchers to throw away unsold meat, resulting in huge financial losses.
