The Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA), Abia State chapter, asked police to help curb veterinary practice by unqualified people. During a Wednesday visit to Commissioner of Police Wilfred Afolabi, association chairman Dr. Jude Stephen warned that inappropriate or unsafe animal vaccines threaten public health, including through consumption of affected animals and their products. The veterinarians also sought police assistance with cross-border animal movement and public sensitisation. Afolabi pledged the command’s continued support and collaboration.
