The Nigerian Council of Food Science and Technology has said it will carry out a survey of food facilities in five local government areas of Lagos State.

Eze also stated that the agency had engaged the services of the National Bureau of Statistics for the survey which included collecting, compiling, analysing, and interpreting data to ensure that food items consumed and exported to other countries are safe.

When asked if the NICFOST had plans for roadside food vendors, especially those doing their business beside open drainages, the registrar said the Federal Government agency would work with stakeholders to sensitise such vendors on safe ways to do their business. “The pilot survey is actually to meet such people and know what their challenges are and to know how we can be of help to them, not to take them off the streets. We want to help them improve, so that we can have good food. We are not doing it directly but through the authorities in the units and wards in the listed local government areas because they are the ones responsible for those people.
