FG Launches Leather Factories Nationwide to Cut Ponmo Consumption

Revolutionizing Leather Production: FG’s Plan to Reduce Ponmo Usage

The Nigerian government has announced plans to establish leather factories across the country’s 36 states to boost local leather production and reduce the consumption of ponmo (animal skin, often used in traditional dishes).

This initiative aims to capitalize on Nigeria’s leather industry potential, fostering job creation and economic growth.

By processing animal skins into leather goods, the government hopes to create alternative economic value, shifting ponmo consumption to promote the leather sector.
