Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi inaugurated yesterday the N3.8 billion ultra-modern abattoir at Amosun Village in Akinyele Local Government Area.

The central abattoir, to serve the 11 local governments in Ibadan land, is sited on 15 hectares of land, with provisions for manual and mechanical slaughtering of cattle, pigs, goats and sheep.

It also has a road network covering about five kilometres, with a parking space for over 200 smaller vehicles and 50 articulated trucks.

Speaking at the ceremony witnessed by butchers in the 11 local governments, Ajimobi said the building of the central abattoir was in line with his administration’s transformation and repositioning agenda.

He pledged the government’s readiness to continue to provide all the necessary logistics for the smooth operation of the abattoir.
