CP. AISHATU SPEAKS ON EXCLUSION OF VETERINARY INSTITUTIONS FROM THE INFECTIOUS DISEASE BILL PUBLIC HEARING


My dear colleagues, this is to inform you that the oversight in excluding Veterinary institutions, Agencies and Associations in the Public Hearing on the Infectious Disease Bill has been sorted out with the National Assembly. 

It was a serious but unintentional oversight from the NASS. 

The Council wish to thank the entire Veterinary Community for being proactive and highly sensitive to the progress of the profession and wish to assure you all of our commitment to move this great profession to the highest standard.  God bless you all.

CP Aishatu Abubakar Baju, DVM, PhD, NPOM
President, Veterinary Council of Nigeria.
