Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to Federal Government's proposed ban on ponmo consumption.

On Monday, the Federal Government sparked reactions when it announced plans of proposing a law to ban the consumption of animal skin, locally known as ponmo, to revive tanneries.

The Director-General, Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology (NILEST), Zaria, Muhammad Yakubu, stated the litigation was necessary to revive the comatose leather industry.

He said the habit of eating animal skin, which has no nutritional value, should be stopped to save the industry and boost the nation’s economy.
