As the FG removes the veterinary council from health regulators, Arokoyo expresses alarm.

Dr. Moses Arokoyo, President of the Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association, has raised concerns about the exclusion of the Veterinary Council from national health regulators, warning of potential dangers for the Nigerian population. 

Arokoyo emphasized the global importance of zoonoses and the integral role of veterinarians in public health. 

He stated that excluding the Veterinary Council poses a national public health risk, leading to increased consumption of meat with drug residues, antimicrobial resistance, and potential health issues. 

Arokoyo urged government support for preventive measures, emphasizing the collaboration of medical professionals and veterinarians for effective public health safeguarding.
