The Donkey Dealers Association(DDA) has said that the proposed ban on donkey slaughtering in Nigeria will result in the loss of businesses and investments for about three million Nigerians.
National Chairman of the association, Ifeanyi Dike during an interview with journalists at the National Assembly at a one-day Public hearing on eight bills for the agriculture sector, said that an outright ban on slaughtering of donkey was not a solution to the envisaged extinction of donkeys in Nigeria.
The public hearing was organised by the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development chaired by Sen. Bima Enagi.
Dike said an outright blanket ban as proposed by the bill will create some powerful smuggling syndicates who are bent in getting the donkey derivatives for export to China thereby sabotaging the economy.
