.As 127 farms shut down in the FCT Owing to high cost of feed, and fuel subsidy removal, Poultry Farmers Association of Nigeria FCT chapter has raised concern over the shutdown of over 127 poultry farms in Abuja and the loss of over N100 million in last on year.
Moreso, he lamented since the post-COVID-19 pandemic era in 2020, they are yet to get any support from government as they only hear of government interventions in the news, saying despite reporting the case of destruction of some farms in the FCT by strong wind earlier this year to the Animal Husbandry department of the FCT, they still have not received any support.
While noting the continuous increase in prices of egg in recent past, he said “the increase in price is not because the farmers want to create burden on the consumers, but because of the challenges as the cost of feed vary from time to time”. The ex-officio North Central Poultry Association of Nigeria Ibrahim Lamidi stated that the price egg from the farm gate is N2500 so we are pleading with the FCT minister to include them in the school feeding program as egg is important for school children.
