The Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh, has said that
the Federal Government will soon ban the importation of tomato pastes into the
country.
Ogbeh said a report by the National Agency for Food and
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says foreign tomato pastes imported into
Nigeria are not good.
He stated this during the oversight visit of the House of
Representatives Committee on Agricultural Production and Services, chaired by
Rep Mohammed Tahir Monguno (APC, Borno) to the ministry in Abuja on Monday,
November 28.
