The House of Representatives frowned at the ban on the exportation of some Nigeria’s Agricultural produces for allegedly containing high level of unauthorised pesticides and lack of proper storage by the European Union.
Consequently, the House presided over by the Speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara in its resolution mandated its committee on commerce and agriculture when constituted to liaise with relevant stakeholders to work on resolving the issues and concerns raised by the EU food safety authority to lift the ban. Alagbaoso had in the motion on the need to investigate the ban of exportation of some Nigeria’s food items by the European Union noted with dismay that the recent ban by the EU on some agricultural food exports from Nigeria had affected the economy of the Country. He further noted that the reason given by the EU for the ban was that the banned food items allegedly contained high level of unauthorised pesticides.
