The awareness campaign was kick-started in the four communities hosting Dangote Cement Company which includes Oyo, Iwaa, Apata and Obajana.

LEADERSHIP Recalls that in July, the federal government confirmed the first case of anthrax in Nigeria, stating that the disease was detected in a farm in Niger State.

The government had earlier alerted the public about the outbreak of anthrax disease in some neighboring countries within the West Africa sub-region and advised Nigerian to desist from the consumption of hides commonly called ponmo.

While welcoming participants to the event at Obajana, the general manager, Community Affairs/Special Duties of Dangote Cement Plc, Obajana Plant, Mr. Ademola Adeyemi noted that the event demonstrate the concept of good neighborliness and information sharing for the betterment of all.

He enjoined the attendees to endeavour to share the information until it gets to everybody in the community

Speaking during the sensitization programme at Obajana in Kogi State, Representative of the Dangote Cement Plc, Dr. Akinola Adewale said anthrax is caused by spore-forming bacterium-Bacillius anthracis, which primarily affect animals such as cattle, sheep and goat.

Dr. Adewale said the disease can also infect human beings who come in direct contact with infected animals, or contaminated animal products such as hides, wool and meat.
