Alhaja Shabi commended Honourable Animashaun for her swift response to water hazards affecting fish farming in the area, which has resulted in massive losses for fish farmers.

“One of the biggest challenges we face is water hazards, which often kill our fish. The chairman has been proactive in addressing this issue.

“She is working on acquiring instruments that will generate oxygen for the fish whenever there is a water hazard.

“She also plans to demarcate the water from the ponds to minimize the impact,” Alhaja Shabi added.
