 Nigeria, ECOWAS, FAO move to protect goats, sheep against deadly diseases


In a bid to ensure a healthy livestock population, Nigeria and other countries under the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Food and Agriculture Organisation, FAO, and World Animal Health, WOAH, yesterday, strategised to safeguard goats, sheep and other livestock against deadly diseases called Peste des Petits Ruminants, PPR, in the region.


Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Sen Abdullahi Aliyu, at the opening ceremony of the ‘3rd Meeting of the Peste Des Petits Ruminants, PPR, Global Eradication Programme Regional Roadmap and Blueprint Consultation in the West Africa Region, Hybrid Conference’ in Abuja, said 12.5 million doses of PPR vaccine had been procured to fight and eradicate PPR in Nigeria. Aliyu noted that PPR also known as sheep and goat plague was a highly contagious viral disease that affects small ruminants, and causes huge economic losses to the farmers and nation at large.


He expressed gratitude to development partners, including FAO and WOAH for their unwavering support and collaborations which have been instrumental in advancing the shared goal of eradicating PPR. The meeting had participants from member States of ECOWAS and development partners, including the media. He said: “Your presence here underscores the importance of our collective efforts in tackling this disease and other major livestock diseases devastating the livestock industry in the West African sub-region.


Consequently, the efforts and resources deployed for this conference are worthwhile. “PPR also known as sheep and goat plague, is a highly contagious viral disease that affects small ruminants, causing significant economic losses and threatening the livelihoods of millions of rural families in West Africa. “The impact of PPR extends beyond animal health, affecting food security, economic stability, and the overall well-being of our communities and the most vulnerable in the society such as youths and women who depend on rearing of small ruminants (sheep and goats) for a living.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
