Dog sellers in Jos have
called on the Plateau State Government to build a permanent market to
enable them to transact their business without hitches.
The Chairman, Dogs
Sellers Association, Fwagul Dog Market chapter in Jos, Mr. Oliver Gowon,
made the call while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Jos on Wednesday.
He said, “What we have is a temporary market and this is neither good nor conducive for the growth of our business.
“We were formerly at the
old Jos market before we were moved to this rented plot of land. We are
appealing to the State Government to establish a dog in the greater Jos
master plan.
“We want a market that is fenced to minimise the rate at which dogs escape each time they break loose.
“We also want stalls we
can lock, as well as pipe borne water, electricity and other amenities
that would improve the sanitary condition of our trade.’’
Gowon, a former
councillor in Kanke Local Government of Plateau, said a conducive market
had become “very necessary” because the dog market was becoming more
lucrative every day.
He said, “Government can generate a lot
of revenue from the dog market because people do come from distant
places on daily basis to buy both live dogs and the prepared meat.’
