Mr Shitu Kabir, the National President, Cowpea and Beans Farmers, Processors and Marketers Association of Nigeria, has called for the outright ban of Sniper pesticide due to the danger it poses to human lives. He called for its outright ban to safeguard Nigerians from the negative effect of its use. “However, I am calling for its outright ban because once it is available even in bigger containers; it can still be accessed and abused. “There are organic chemicals that farmers can resort to for better yield and overall health of consumers. So, let us all go organic.’’Kabiru said that the association would be in the forefront in the canvassing for the ban of the product.
