City carrying out food safety campaign after uncovering forged certificates

A general food safety campaign is being undertaken after the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) discovered fraudulent food-handling certificates among vendors and businesses within the city.

Acting Chief Meat and Food inspector Abiola Baker, who said that the campaign has been a success, told this newspaper that they were able to get most of the persons who had food handling certificates to come in and have them processed once again.

Baker said to prevent more forgeries, they have sent specimens to various places.
