He informed that part of the conditions for the reopening is that on a monthly basis, the ministry of the Environment and Water Resources officials will conduct a periodic inspection of the facilities at the Abbatoir.
He urged the operators to avoid unsanitary activities, waste mismanagement and unhygienic handling of animal products as they conduct their businesses.
It will be recalled that the Oko-Oba Abbatoir was shut by the State Government on June 20 following an inspection by top State officials which discovered a flagrant disregard of the laws guiding safe operations of abbatoirs in the state.

BREAKING: Ganduje Resigns as APC National Chairman with immediate effect

Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has resigned as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with immediate effect.
Ganduje, who previously served as the Governor of Kano State from 2015 to 2023, cited health reasons for his resignation, stating the need to focus on his personal well-being.
His tenure as APC chairman, which began in August 2023, was riddled with internal party crises, legal disputes, and allegations of financial misconduct.
While his resignation letter attributed the move solely to health concerns, party insiders suggest rising political tension and internal opposition may have influenced his decision.
There have also been reports linking his exit to accusations of financial impropriety.
Some party members allegedly protested against what they described as “excessive financial demands” from his office—particularly over complaints by aspirants for FCT area council positions about the high fees required to secure party tickets.
Ganduje’s leadership faced multiple legal challenges. In April 2024, a Kano State High Court issued an ex parte order barring him from identifying as a party member, following a suit filed by some APC officials.
Although a separate suit filed by the APC North Central Forum seeking his removal was later dismissed by a Federal High Court in Abuja, his position remained contentious.
As the APC is yet to issue an official statement, speculation continues to mount over the true circumstances of Ganduje’s departure and its potential implications for the party’s future direction.
