Lagos records new cases of bird flu

 

The Lagos state government said it was making arrangement with the Federal Government for compensation to the affected poultry farmers.

The Lagos State Government, in collaboration with the Federal Government, is already thinking of ways to support these farmers, whose poultry were affected by the scourge.
Government is mindful of that and is working out modalities to compensate the farmers so that others, who have the flu and have not reported or are under reporting, will be encouraged to come forward, he said.
The permanent secretary said government does not want a scenario were the farmers, who do not report, will sell their birds to unsuspecting public.
