meat


The Kano State government is planning to ban the sale of bush meat.
The plan followed the report of a committee set up by the government to visit bush meat sales points in markets and similar outlets.
The three-man committee is headed by Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Nasiru Gawuna. His counterparts in the ministries of Health and Commerce, Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf and Dr. Umar Faruk Jibril, are members.
Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso addressed reporters yesterday in Kano at the weekly state Executive Council (Exco) meeting on efforts to contain the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
The governor said his administration would soon take decisive steps to prevent the spread of the deadly virus, adding that doctors briefed the Exco on how to stop the virus ahead of the committee’s report.
He said besides the proposed Ebola Isolation Centre in the state capital, the government was discussing with officials of the Malam Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital on how to manage the disease, in case it enters the state.

Ezekiel Musa and Markus Yalah, both residents of Askira, south of Borno and Madagali in Adamawa State said they fled the communi­ties yesterday to Maiduguri to stay with their brothers in response to the rumour that Boko Haram was planning to attack their towns. “We heard Boko Haram men left Gwoza and have vowed to attack some com­munities in Askira/Uba again.
