He said the decision followed the fulfillment of sanitation and hygienic prescriptions by the operators.
Wahab wrote: “The operators have substantially complied with the minimum benchmark for the operations of abattoirs in the state, which was flagrantly flouted initially, necessitating the closure.”
He said officials from the ministry would conduct a periodic inspection of the facilities at the abattoir as part of the conditions for reopening the facility.
