Uba Sani Transforms Kaduna Abattoirs for Better Meat Processing

Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna State, has initiated significant improvements in the meat processing sector by modernizing abattoirs across the state. This transformation has been particularly noted in the Sabon Gari Local Government Area, where the Butcher Association Nigeria has praised the installation of modern equipment and cold chain facilities.

The upgrades have drastically reduced post-slaughter losses and improved food safety and hygiene standards. Malam Ahm Maiyaki, representing the butchers, highlighted the previous lack of storage facilities that forced them to dispose of unsold meat, resulting in financial losses.

The new cold rooms allow for safe storage of meat for later sale, significantly reducing waste. Jamilu Umar, Vice Chairman of the Butcher Association Nigeria, described the intervention as a comprehensive rehabilitation of abattoirs that had been operating under difficult conditions for over three decades.

The improvements are part of Uba Sani's administration's broader commitment to invest in the livestock value chain to enhance food security and livelihoods.
