The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and National Orientation Agency (NOA) have warned farmers to avoid using chemicals to store and preserve food grains to preserve the health and well-being of Nigerians who consume grains as food staples.

LEADERSHIP reports that farmers in the northern part of the country use chemicals to store and preserve grains for later use because of a lack of modern storage facilities. Fatalities were recorded where unsuspecting families died after consuming chemically preserved grains in the region.

The director of NOA in Bauchi, Mrs Theresa Omaga, issued the warning while interacting with local grain dealers at Soro Grains Market in the Ganjuawa local government area.

She noted that other harmful environmental effects of using chemicals include soil, water, and air contamination, which can harm the ecosystems and wildlife.

Mrs Omaga noted that proper storage and preservation of crops are essential to maintaining their quality, reducing spoilage, and ensuring food safety while appealing to people to always adopt healthy ways to store and preserve their crops.
