The Special Assistant to President Muhammad Buhari on Digital and New Media, Tolu Ogunlesi, confirmed this on his Twitter handle on Thursday morning.
The cows were flown into Nigeria in crates, one crate got damaged and the ground staff didn’t secure the cows after offloading.
The drama occurred when the cow started running and chasing staff at the airport tarmac. It took the intervention of some strong men to manage the situation.
As productivity and revenue increases, Ikun Dairy Farm will create hundreds of jobs directly, and indirectly and also improve the economy of Ikun-Ekiti, the host community, surrounding communities, and Ekiti State at large.
