Mr Isuwa Adamu, the Director-General, Nigerian Institute of Leather Science and Technology (NILEST), Zaria today warned against the consumption of animal hides and skin locally known as ponmo. According to him, ponmo is dangerous to health because it has no nutritional value and it has been proven scientifically.
“In fact, it is not advisable for you to consume ponmo in the sense that some of the animals killed and used for ponmo actually have skin diseases.
“Some of the animals because of the ailments that they have gone through, are sometimes treated by way of injection with chemicals.
