To curb food diseases, particularly cholera, in Kebbi State, no fewer than 50 street food vendors have undergone capacity building training on how to optimise hygienic practices for safe handling of food.
While speaking to journalists at the training centre, the Coordinator of APFSAN, Dr Yusuf Abdulrahman Bashir, said the objective was to provide the food vendors with basic knowledge on best practices for safe handling of food.
He said, “We expect that by the end of this training every participant would be able to uphold optimal hygienic practices for safe handling of food.
“At the end, we would be able to ensure that food vendors in Kebbi can give safer and more nutritious food to consumers.”

He stressed that any food that’s not safe could not be considered nutritious.
A participant, Mrs Grace Sunday Jibril, said she had learnt how to keep her food safe.
She further said, “I now know that I have to cut my nails and wash my hands before cooking safe and nutritious food. I also have to make my environment clean.”
