Reps move to curtail outbreak of Anthrax

The House of Representatives has resolved to curtail the outbreak of Anthrax discovered in a farm at Gajiri Village in Niger State by directing relevant government agencies to arrest the outbreak.

This followed a motion of urgent public importance by Adamu Tanko (PDP-Niger) on the floor of the House in Abuja on Tuesday.

In the motion, Mr Tanko noted that the report of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development concerning the presence of anthrax in Nigeria was disturbing.
