PAN marks World Egg Day with training of stakeholders in food business
Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) has celebrated World Egg Day by training people on different dishes they can prepare with eggs in Kano State.
Speaking at the event, PAN Kano State Branch Chairman, Dr. Usman Gwarzo, said that the training was part of the association’s activities to commemorate World Egg Day.
Dr. Gwarzo said that World Egg Day is held annually on the second Friday of October and is a time to cherish and celebrate the versatile, affordable, delicious, and nutritious food item that provides sustainable nutrition to help feed people.
“We have the names and phone numbers of every participant who attended the training. We want to create a community where every egg seller knows the farm from which they are buying their eggs. In case anything happens as a result of consuming the eggs, they will know who to hold accountable. We want you to become egg ambassadors,” he said.
Dr. Gwarzo urged participants to make use of the knowledge acquired during the training, saying it would be.of tremendous help to them.
Haruna Musa, a representative of Kano Central Hotel, said he was delighted with the training and would carry whatever knowledge acquired to his hotel.
Pauline, another participant from Patoosh Restaurant, said her expectations for the training were high and she was highly delighted that she was not disappointed.
The training brought together different people from poultry farms, restaurants, hotels, and other segment of the society.
After the training, the association visited correctional centres, children’s homes, and Hasiya Bayero Paediatric Hospital where free eggs were distributed.
