Some Nigerians have kicked against the proposed plan by the Federal Government to ban the consumption of cooked cow skin, popularly known as ponmo.
Recall that the Director General of the Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology, Zaria, Prof. Muhammad Yakubu, recently said the institute and other stakeholders would be approaching the National Assembly and state governments to establish a legislation to ban the consumption of the cow skin.
According to him, the decision is aimed at reviving the moribund tanneries and leather industry in the country.
He said it had no nutritional value and should be proscribed to save the industry and boost the nation’s economy.
