The Lagos State chapter of the Poultry Association of Nigeria (PAN) has assured residents of a drop in the price of poultry produce ahead of yuletide.
PAN Vice President and Chairman of the Aiyedoto Poultry Farmers Settlement, Foluso Adams, made this known in Lagos on Monday, November 24, 2025.
This followed the intervention of the Lagos State Government ‘Ounje Eko’ phase 2 farmers subsidy programme.
The Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems has announced the commencement of Phase II of the Ounje Eko recently to cut down food prices ahead of the yuletide.
Adams noted that the subsidy would go a long way to help local farmers as well prompt a drop in the price of poultry produce.
Adams s said: “The Ounje Eko Farmers’ Subsidy Programme will definitely go a long way to cut down the price of poultry produce during the yuletide.
“We expect to drop the price of crates of eggs from N5,500 and N6,000 to about N5,100 and N5,300.

“The intervention will help because with the discount they have given us, the poultry farmers have even sat down to reduce the price.”
The PAN Vice President, however, stated that not all farmers would benefit from the intervention because of the brand of feed being distributed.
He said: “It is only Animal Care brand that they are offering and some farmers use some other brands of feed.
“We have already told our members to benefit from the subsidy that they are going to contribute back to society by reducing the price.
“There is even a letter to that effect. We will have a meeting later at Alausa and we have told the government we have reduced the price so that people can see the impact of what the government has done.
“The materials will start arriving on Wednesday and from our settlement, we have 50 farmers as beneficiaries.
“With this intervention, other feed processors are also bringing down the price of their commodities, so that they will not lose their customers.”
Adams added that the price reduction will also affect the sales of chicken during the festive season.
