The federal government has voiced concern over the rejection of food products and other exports from Nigeria.

Speaking at the start of a six-day training for members of the National Codex Committee on Food Safety Risk Analysts and the updated NCC procedural manual, which was organised in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Minister of Health Dr. Osagie Ehanire said the rejection is hurting the economy of the nation.

The minister, who was represented at the event by the director and National Coordinator for Food Safety and Quality Programme, Mr Atanda John, said the committee which he heads was created “to ensure the protection of food, ensure you take good and safe food and also to ensure fair practice in international food trade.”

Ehanire said; “we have been hearing of rejection of our foods; it’s because there’s no adherence to that standard, and this is not giving the country a good image. It’s affecting us economically tourism wise and in every other aspect.”
