He said, “We need to develop efficient leather industry in Nigeria. But government has not banned the consumption of pomo.”
“I have seen a lot of stories saying that the government has banned pomo. That is not the job of the government.”
“What we are trying to do is to make people to understand that we can make a lot of money through the sales of pomo.”
