Exploring consequences of Nigeria's poultry sector crisis by Elvis Eromosele

Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

Statistics paint a picture. In a recent revelation, the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) expressed deep concern over the closure of more than 50 per cent of poultry farms in 2023. This means for every two poultry farms in Nigeria in 2023, one closed shop. This figure, 50 per cent represents half of all poultry farms. It also paints a figure that sheds light on the severe challenges gripping the sector.


The real unfortunate part is that this alarming development has significant repercussions both on the economy and public health.

Economic Fallout

The Nigerian poultry industry is crucial for the country's economy, contributing to job creation and food security. The closures, therefore, cast a shadow over Nigeria's economy with revenue losses, mass unemployment and the ripple effects on ancillary sectors.

This growth serves as a testament to the country's progress in the realm of connectivity and economic development.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), continues to play a pivotal role as the regulator, placing paramount importance on ensuring the Quality of Service (QoS).
