One thing that worries many meat consumers in Nigeria is the condition of the meat they consume. This is because most abattoirs in the country are in a deplorable state, with the meat exposed to all sorts of contamination. Many educated Nigerians, studies have shown, avoid Nigerian produced meat and opt for imported, frozen poultry products. This is what my business venture is trying to change.
My background partly explains my foray into the meat business. Born and bred in the city of Iwo, Nigeria, a city well known for its skilled butchers. I had my primary, secondary, and Islamic education in the city. I thereafter proceeded to the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, where I earned a degree in plant biology.
In 2015, my partner and I, both scientists under 30, came up with the idea to set up a beef production and distribution business dedicated to changing the way beef is handled in Nigeria. Registered as Beef Plus Ventures, the business is dedicated to providing consumers with quality beef, produced and distributed under hygienic conditions. Beef Plus is run by my partner, Zaharat Kadri, a veterinary doctor and animal production expert, and me.
Nigeria consumes over 300 million kg of beef a year and our ambition is to build a company that will supply as much as 10% of this over the next decade. In addition, we are poised to help raise awareness and educate the public on the dangers of consuming poorly produced beef, while also training young people to engage in activities that will help reduce the gap between supply and demand of hygienically produced meat.
Our approach includes establishing modern abattoirs strategically, supplies for sales points, and independent distributors nationwide from these facilities.
Already, we have commenced work on our minimal viable product (MVP) by establishing a small abattoir in a rural area in Ogun state where we presently produce 500 kg of beef every week. Our butchery and sales areas are fully netted to eliminate flies and the hygiene of our facility is always topnotch.
Unlike many other meat-sellers in the country, we do not distribute our beef in uncovered or dirty containers. We also ensure that we sell our product fresh and maintain the cold chain to ensure freshness of product. At the moment, we serve the three small rural towns of Ibese, Balogun and Abuleoke in Yewa North Local Government, and have a monthly turnover of around USD 7,000 after just five months of operations.
The next step for our business is to open up new distribution networks in the neighbouring towns of Papalanto and Ilaro, thereby taking our product to more consumers. This is what we intend to use the USD 5,000 grant for:
- USD 2,000 will be used for a tricycle fitted with a cooling compartment for transport of beef to our new sales outlets
- USD 3,000 will be used to set up two new sales outlets in Ilaro and Papalanto.
This will make our product available to over 200,000 people, and allow us to gain a new market and grow our sales. Our ambition is to grow our sales to 6,000 kg of beef per month, within 12 months of getting this grant. And with this grant, we believe this is achievable.
With our gross profit of our business put at a minimum of 7% of turnover, we will be looking at a projected gross profit of USD 20,000 per annum after one year. This kind of profit is a testament to the sustainability of the business and its high growth potentials.
Besides this, the business is already having an impact on our community, with consumers better informed of the importance of hygiene in every process of food preparation. Also, we have created five new jobs and we contribute to the development of the community through the payment of levies and participation in environmental sensitization outreach.
To solve Nigeria’s unhygienic meat problem, the importance of initiatives like ours cannot be over-emphasized. If the traditional abattoir operators won’t take their business into the twenty-first century, now is the time to give consumers an affordable alternative.
Support Beef Plus to make available this important alternative to as many Nigerian as possible.

Thank you, @mary80am, for reblogging
With the operational style of Beef plus, the fear of unhygienic environment is a past discus.
I am proud of beef plus as I am a regular consumer in many occasion
Thank you, Ibrahim. I appreciate your insight
Go Sadiq.
That’s the plan, Francis. Buy your beef from us always
Yes, this venture addresses a strong need in the Nigerian society. And I like the fact that it is already established and not just an idea. Would like to know if, on an average, your beef sells at the same price as that in the market, or if it costs slightly higher on the basis of your hygienic processes. If the latter is the case, what has been consumers’ reception to the price?
Thank you, Shadiat. At the moment, our products are priced in line with the prevailing market price. We prefer a reduced profit margin to alienating key segments of our targeted market.
If you want Alal and healthy meet, patronise Beef Plus for venture Nigeria.
Thank you for the validation.
I am not much of a beef consumer, hence it is unlikely that I would consume your product someday. Brilliant ideas you have, in any case. Goodluck.
@Charles, I hope one day you’ll call on us to provide beef for your events. Thanks for coming
Excellent business model hinged on sustainability, health and growing the sector into a new realm. Kudos.
Thank you, @Adekunle
This is a brilliant attempt to change the beef vending process in Nigeria
@Adekunle, thanks for your kind words
@egbon semiu, yes, of course. It is the way of the future
Nigeria would benefit from this considerably. Good.
Baba Sam, we firmly believe so too
A welcome development
Absolutely. Don’t forget to call on us for beef for your events, Joy Lola
The approach enumerated by the writer in the processing of meat is indeed hygiene and that must be encouraged. It is safe to admit that if the proposal for grants as discussed by the writer get approved, meat consumption will be more safer for the targeted community and contributes to healthier leaving.
SARAFA Ibrahim, I appreciate your support. You can follow our progress on our website http://www.beefplus.com.ng
This is a nice one, many times we consume products that are not only hygiene but also pose enormous treat to our health
@James, exactly. And that is why it is important that consumers always demand for quality
Unhygienic beef is a public health risk. Common pathogens include Salmonella Shigella and Staph. aureus. Tuberculosis (Mycobacteriium bovis) can also be transmitted. Tapeworm and roundworm are parasites that can also get into the food chain via infected animals. These infections are more common in the developing world of which Nigeria is a part. Any effort in removing or reducing this risk is welcome
@ Eme, Thank you. Thank you. We need to equip ourselves with valuable information on what we consume
Good idea which needs to be supported as government can’t employ all the graduates that are coming out of school every year
OlaTunbosun, I agree with you. Thanks for reading
Great initiative! This is highly needed in Nigeria.
Thanks, Abduljelil
Great idea and all the best
You support is well appreciated
Great Potentials
Ese pupo, sir
Great read.
Thanks.
good job sodiq. great idea.
I appreciate it. I hope you will remember to order beef for your events from us. We deliver within southwest. Order above 40kg.
Great initiative. We need more of this in Nigeria, a country where Health and Safety regulations are quite low and enforcement is poor.
I look forward to buying from this meat.
Welldone
Thank you sir for your kind words. We look forward to providing you with quality beef wherever you are in the country.
I pray almighty Allah put his Baraka. Welldone Brother.
This is truly a disgusting problem. Definitely, this innovation will alleviate it. I hope your products gets to Abuja soon.
Indeed, @Jibril. It is a problem that needs to be solved.
@Salman Rabiat, thanks!
This is a fantastic business which addresses our worries of hygiene in the purchase of beef in Nigeria. I wish you all d best and pray your business expands more than it is now.
Thank you, @ Muminat.
Great initiative. this will improve the quality of meat consumption in Nigeria…
I look. forward to buying this meat soon
@Suleiman , we also look forward to selling to you. Please fell free to call us.
This an innovative thinking that communicates useful message
@Kareem, gracias
Nice alternative & initiative. I have a question though. There’s this medical view point that beef is a leading cause of some forms of cancer & madrigal experts are warning against its consumption. How would this affect this great initiative in the nearest futere when majority stop taking beef?
Quality Beef is actually good for our health as explained by this article.http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/dec/16/why-beef-is-good-for-you-grass-fed-grain-fed
The problem you mentioned isn’t actually with beef but with the process some employ in its production including but not limited to dehairing the skin with harmful materials like tyres
Good one
Shukran, sis Hauwa
A revolution starts with just one person
You and your partner has started a revolution in the abattoir business in Nigeria
The small beginning not withstanding, Nigeria will be better for this initiative in the near future
Keep the focus, maximize your energy and optimize your time on this project
You will continue to be outstandingly productive
Thank you for the advice , sir. We will remain focused on our goals. In sha Allah
Great concept Sodiq!
Thanks, John
If I have a million dollars and nothing more and Sodiq approaches me for a million dollar loan, I will not hesitate to loan him the cash. This is because the Sodiq I know is a gifted entrepreneur that has a vast knowledge of viable business ventures across many field. And his honesty is second to none. You will never find Beef Plus to be at a standard below the way it is portrayed in the post above.
Dat Iwo-Boi
Thank you, big bro. I appreciate your confidence in me
Great !!!!, this is an excellent solution to One of the problems facing agricultural value chain in Nigerian, this is a right step in the right direction, wish you the best
It is our little contribution to solving a huge problem. Step by step. Thanks for your time, @ Salami Musa
Brilliant idea, this is what I call innovative way of producing healthy beef for the Nigeria citizens especially the hygiene conscious ones.
@Serifat, thanks!
Thank you ma
Great job, weldone.
Shukran ma
I hope this triggers the much needed revolution in this rather conservative business in Nigeria. Lofty initiative, Sodiq.
BaarakAllaahu feekum.
That’s our hope, too. Thanks for reading, Aslu
Smart move, progress is needed in the meat industry in Nigeria.
Indeed, urgent progress is needed
Very nice one, Great initiative and vision.
Well-done.
Thank you, egbon.
Great initiative. May you succeed.
@Amadi, Amin
Good Idea. More spread of your reach.
Amen. Sir
With such start, you obviously are on the right track. Please device a means of improving the services of the other ‘unhygienic’ abbatoirs and you’d have secured your leadership role In the market as well as being the competition to beat.
Onimisi, we will work on that. Great suggestion
I hope this would encourage the ones who stopped eating beef because of unhygienic handling by some butchers to pick it up again…great idea
That’s the plan. Win more souls for beef consumption
good
No dulling, FM
Thank you, Shadiat. At the moment, our products are priced in line with the prevailing market price. We prefer a reduced profit margin to alienating key segments of our targeted market.
This is a wonderful innovation, I remember visiting an abbatior in Ibadan in which the processing of beef will make you to never consume meat again. Secondly, this will also reduce contact of people to some Zoonotic Diseases which can occur due to consumption of condemned meat with Zoonotic implication like Fuku-elegusi (Tuberculous Lung) among others. Keep it one, the sky is not your limit but starting point.
Thank you, doc.
Grear idea
Thanks
I’m glad there are great responses to this likewise great initiative. Your advice too would be greatly appreciated.
Me too, partner
This is a bold step which must be supported by all and sundry to stamp out cholerea from our society as a result of unhygienic beep consumption. #ISTAND_BEEFPLUS
Thanks, Barr Alayo
Good idea, Wonderful Initiative
Thank you for reading
If this works well, its going to be spectacular
Keep us in mind and in prayer, Abubakar
Great idea!
Ese pupo
It’s a great idea, the beef sales centers should be hygiene, and beef should be well preserved in a special refrigerated display carbin, if you need support on that you can contacts me
Please contact me via my email above. We are absolutely interested @Ibrahim
I’ thought it was a nice idea Sadiq. I especially love your detailed plan aimed at expansion and targeted population areas. Gradually moving in on city centers wil boost up market revenue and capital drive.
That’s our plan, Chibuzor. Thank you
This is a very good concept and the feasibility of this project is very great, it is our belief that this project will create job and change the way our beef is processed and the way the cattles are reared.
Wish you all the best.
Thanks!
Really great idea, we need healthy consumption of food in nigeria I’m sure your idea will meet that need
Yes we do. Thanks for coming, @Mariam
It’s nice really. But maybe I’m interested in the platforms used to sensitize people on the importance of hygiene regarding beef production and consumption. And also it will nice if the venture harnesses the power of social media to build it’s audience and customers nationwide.
Good idea and plans
We print flyers, attend meetings etc to educate consumers. We are already on social media too.
Thank you, Aremu
Great Idea! May Almighty Allah make it a success
Amin, Alesh

Thanks for the love
Sincerely I wish this project can be granted.. I am tired of having stomach upset everyday cause of meat ish.. Success!!!
Babarinde, your wish will come true
I personally am interested in this idea.. Sincerely its going to solve a major case of food poisoning to a reasonable length.. I still purged yesterday cause of unhygienic state of meat sold in my school..
For my sake and for the sake of many more like me and also those that might also have the same problem if they continue eating bad meat, I pray the project is granted…
Thanks for the prayer, Sir
this is a great idea. A vet will know how well to handle the meat. Safe meat; safer Nigerians
Nice campaign line. Can we borrow it, Femi?

I wish u d best in this wonderful initiative. Good luck.
Thanks, sir.
Very nice project Sodiq. Hopefully, many will follow in your footstep. All the best.
That’s our hope too. May it come true
The need for infrastructural overhauling of the sector is long overdue and this is surely one of the ways government, communities and individuals can see the need for hygienically prepared meat.
This idea would go a long way not only in promoting healthy consumption but as well contribute to the economy both in numbers and persons.
Excellent contribution, sir. Merci
Nice idea
Thanks, Diekola
An excellent project!
@Keron, we appreciate the support
This is highly innovative And indigenous adhere… kudos.
Olayiwola, thanks sir
Keep the Good ideas up…. kudos.
No lele, sir
This is an excellent and feasible business proposal. Certainly it will address the oft-recurring metabolic problem that characterized conventional (read Nigerian) mode of handling Beef. With this added value of hygiene, I bet many people will be willing to pay premium to Beef Plus services. Best wishes.
That’s our hope, RM.

Great idea and wonderful job so far, Ma Shaa Allah.
Thank you for the kindness
Commendable proposal, it will go a long way in promoting the value chain for that sector. Good work.
@Ojibara, we will keep working hard
Great idea,Allah is your strength.
Indeed, He is
Wow! By merely reading such a wonderful piece, I am convinced that Beef Plus has a future in the business environment, and it’ll make a difference. I like it when people get creative in solving such our basic needs easily and healthily. Unfortunately, I am too far to patronize this service. That notwithstanding, I will give my support through prayers; as it progresses, it’ll one day reach my area. Allah ya taimaka, Sodiq!
We should soon be on your locality. Keep praying for us.. Jazakumulah
Am really very impressed at this development, i hope to understudy your processes and develop my meat selling business to this level. Currently, i just make do with the unhygienic slaughter slabs that currently run in the country. I really do hope that more of this kind of initiatives will take over the existing unhealthy abattiors. Bravo!!!
Please contact us via my email above
I’m so proud of you Sodiq!
This is so impressive!
Kudos bro.
I wish you the very best.
Oh thanks, sis
Good concept. Wishing you the best. We need more entrepreneurs in Nigeria
Yes we do. Keeping supporting us
great idea,you two are great combination. its a great innovation to improve public health especially unwholesome distribution of meat. go on and give the nation safe, wholesome and hygienic meat they desire.
@Olusola, your support is most appreciated
Reblogged this on Amourab Blog.

THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT
THE CASE IS BIGGER THAN IMAGINED
THE PUBLIC IS GREATLY AT RISK
WE DONT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS AN OUTBREAK
THE ISSUE WITH OYO STATE IS ALARMING
RECORD HAS IT THAT VETERINARY DOCTORS ARE NOT INSPECTING MEAT AGAIN.
WE NEED HELP.
GOD BLESS
@Dr Jagun: e seun pupo
Wonderful Initiative Bro. I hope you win. It will solve a serious issue. Meat is delivered to markets in totally unsanitary conditions
It’s an unfortunate situation, sis
We are honoured to be taking a part in solving the problem
Any health risks solutions related to meat consumption in this part of the world is appreciated. Good vision.
Good comment. Thank you Sir
I like the initiative. There certainly must be hurdles in your way seeing the Nigeria we’re in today. What are your challenges?
Our mainly challenges are funding and poor infrastructure. We are trying our best to thrive inspite of these
Good one here. Well done on the initiative. I pray you get the chance to put it to reality. Well done.
Thank you. Thank you
Wow,that’s one cool idea from two great minds. I personally think there’s limit to what vet can do in government abattoirs in Nigeria, so private settings like this are the only ways for people to get meat that are wholesome, fit and safe for consumption. And also this will serve as employment opportunity for others. I hope this idea is supported.
Thank you for your kind words
Sodiq Alabi has undertaken a worthy venture, that will ensure the well-being of thousands of Nigerians; in terms of having healthy, eating choices. for a healthier and wealthier society.May your application be selected for the grant. All the best.
Yes, yes. Keep supporting us, EE
This is highly impressive. With your submission we can be very sure that beef 8s prepared under the very best hypienic condition. Kudos to you for this beautiful idea.
@Badru, we’ll keep trying our best to give consumers the best possible
A great innovation that should be replicated throughout the country
@Qudus, that’s a good thought. Thanks for your support
Excellent Project. I wish you and your patner the best in this project.
Thanks for the support
Having been a customer of Beef Plus for Beef Plus I can attest to the quality of the meat. Good stuff. I pray you get this grant. One love
Dairo, we appreciate your patronage
Your business idea is good. May God bless your venture.
The validation means a lot
Thank you
Support for this venture would be aiding business development in a developing country (Nigeria), while ensuring improved health for many. I hope it receives the support.
YS, keep up the support
This is the right step in the right direction, this should be a Nigerian project. It’ll definitely impact on someone like me who wouldn’t eat meat for fear of diseases.
Bello, we hope to see you benefitting from our products soon
It is a good business idea. It going to help to fight against infections. May God help the enterprise to secure more ventures in Nigeria.
Amin.
This is a laudable project that has passed the MVP stage. Wishing you the best on this entrepreneurial journey and defying the odds in our beef supply structures.
Thank you, inspiring entrepreneur. Your support means a lot
I wish you the best Sodiq.
Thank you, Dayo
Thank you for working to get us fresh and hygienic meat. I wish you the best Sodiq.
You are welcome, gblasting 🙂
When do we see Beef Plus in Abuja?
Soon, Oyewale. We are working on it already. But we are taking it step by step
wow!
this is great. We need a slap here in Osun state.
Aishat, we will be covering Osun soon
This is a welcome and laudable initiative to our dear country. Had our slaughter houses and beef sellers understand the importance of safety of Nigerian, the cholera and other bacteria that do come from beef would have gone from our land. with #beefplus, the future of hygienic beef is sure for our country.
Best of luck to you, Sodiq and your team.
#isupportbeefplusinitiative!
Thank you my brother
Good ideal
Merci, Dairo
This is a good development. And it will help the other towns and villages to have more hygienic meat for consumption. Kindly consider in future for other state of the federation.
We are already working on our long term expansion strategy. Stay tuned. Thanks
I have done business with Beef plus times without number. You can always count on them when it comes to quality beep supply. I wish them all the best as they continue to provide quality and hygienic beef to the teeming populace of Nigeria!

Thanks for the best wishes, sis Rahmah
Great Job
Akanmu, appreciated!
Good Initiative.
even the imported goods, like chicken are not so good for our health(I mean the imported chickens) because of the procedures it may undergo.
I hope has you advance, it should not only be about Beef, But also about other goods we consume.
Tombs up
We will look into other meat products later. Thank you
Good Initiative.
even the imported goods, like chicken are not so good for our health(I mean the imported chickens) because of the procedures it may undergo.
like I so in a video, the chicken are injected with chemical to make it look big or fat.

I hope has you advance, it should not only be about Beef, But should also include other goods we consume.

This is a good development. This is what happens when people who are well informed and have the right education go into a business predominated by people who usually do not possess these qualities.
I wish you success in your business.
I’m flattered by your compliment. Thank you
Barakahlahu fil as am also into it. Almighty Allah make it easy.
Oh really? It would be nice to exchange notes with you
Bringing hygienic beef to our tables is a great service to the people.
So Beef Plus should be credited for such healthy, patriotic humanitarian service!

Amen, L
Awesome. This will so much reduce introduction and spread of so many infectious diseases ‘n make meat businesses more hygienic. May Almighty Allah grant your wish and make it successful.
I’m glad you agre with our aims. Thanks for your comment
Nigerian agricultural value chain has longed for this. It is wonderful you are solving part of the problem. Wish u excellent success in this project. All the best
Thank you ma
Great job! Good initiative. I hope soon, you shall network the whole South West and in no long time, the entire Nigeria. Good luck.
Kazeem, we can’t wait to reach that level
This is a great idea that is worthy of all the help it would get. I wish you all the best. Please grow and reach down south. We need hygienic beef too.

Sir, thank you for the support
Very nice innovation
Very appreciated validation
How nice. I hope it works. it is a good initiative. I hope our regular butchers will also learn one or two things from it.
That’s part of our goals, to help kick start a revolution in the industry
It’s a good concept. I think It’s high time we moved from deplorable state of Meat processing.
Indeed, it is high time we did that
Merci
Well done Brother sadiq, you have the spirit of a social entrepeneur. Our meat processing value chain need standardization. This is the way to go. Be hopeful and committed
Thanks for your excellent advice
great idea. Allah will assist you
Amim to your prayer, ma
well done Dr Zaharat and her partner, am so happy you have started thé business. its a right step in the right direction.Pray it would continue to be a success and that you get thé grant.
Keep sharing with your contact so we get the grant 🙂
Thank you so much for the support
Good thinking!
Initiatives like this are needed and should be encouraged. It is nice to see people like you take the bold step on trying to make things better.
Sis Tawakalit, thank you for your kind appreciation of our humble contribution
Good idea. Success. In sha Allah.
Amin. Thanks.
Great and wonderful idea. I was among those that refused to eat beef because of the way beef is being handled and processed.With this concept, it will re- orientate many people like me. I wish you success.
Yemi, come back to beef and buy from us
There should be a branch in iwo too
We can’t forget our source na. Iwo will get a phase soon.
Whao! Detailed and sustainable business plan highlighting “where the business is”, “the gap to be filled” and “where the business want to be”. This is a project the requires support of all. I encourage well to do individuals, corporate establishments and even governments to partner with this initiative. Wishing you the best.
thelukman
Oh thank you this!
The growth and development of a community is certain with projects like this readily available. In the nearest future, the various animal parts can be channeled to where the yield most nutritional or economical value. Kudos!
Adekola, thank you for your insight
This is a laudable initiative which requires the support of everybody, i hope d body will deem it fit to award you the grant for this excellent proposal.
MC, I hope so too. Thanks
It is important to emphasize health benefits of consuming “good” beef, where meat related diseases would be avoided – consumers will stay healthy and productive, and finally society at large would be healthy, which also has economical impact.
I’m thrilled by your ingenuity Sodiq and Zaharat!
We are also thrilled by your enthusiasm for our initiative. Thank you Sir
So many diseases could been prevented if our abattoirs function at their best capacity. And if we can’t have the ideal from government, it’s high time private investors looked into that area.
Exactly the thinking behind setting up Beef Plus. Thank you for your support
This is exited!
May God help this venture to have more ventures in Nigeria so as to fight against infections cause by unhygienic beef.
Amin
Thank you for the support
Yeah this is real!
Am living in Ibese in Ogun state and we always patronise Beef Plus not only because of their hygiene but also because of fresh, cheaper and boneless meat sold by them.
#ilovebeefplus#
Taiwo, thank you faithful customer. Your patronage and support are appreciated
This is a good initiative and also a good business proposal… Hygeine is key in our society as it contributes to healthy living which can’t be bought but obseved… I think u’re doing a good number of d society good and also improving our economy… I wish u d very best in this business and May God help u to win the grant.
Thank you,Dr Johnson. Glad to see you here

Gracias, Tela!
This is a very wonderful initiave, processing “clean” meat. A times when you get to our abattoirs you’ll vow not to eat meat again, but with this initiative I see us eating healthy. This will also help get rid or at least reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases. Nice one sir.
Yemi, thank you and God bless
Wonderful idea, I love dis..@sodiq n zaharat, weldone.
We appreciate your support

My brother, I think it’s time. With all the outbreak of diseases here and there, any initiative to enrich the hygiene of our consumables is welcome. With time, it will catch on.
Aja, thank you. We’ll keep forging ahead
This initiative is a game changer. The way we process our food in Nigeria needs change, we cannot continue the same way as it was processed during Prophet Moses era.
This initiative needs our support. Kudos.
And your support is well appreciated, Bro
This is a wonderful initiative. I am so totally in support of it. May you find God and man’s approval as you go on with this project. A big well done guys.
Dr, thank you!
This is laudable. This project is good both as a business model and as a public health intervention. Welcome. I hope you would come to expand soon.
Thank you, Abdulaziz. Step by step we move
Reblogged this on Richard Ali's Blog and commented:
“Nigeria consumes over 300 million kg of beef a year and our ambition is to build a company that will supply as much as 10% of this over the next decade. ”
Sodiq Alabi.
Thank you for reblogging, Richard
For every problem there is a solution, where you chose to be is the issue, a complainant or an innovator, Sodiq and partner kudos on this wonderful solution, may it work beyond your imaginations. Nice one there.
Tonye, gracias.
I have faith in Sodiq and the entire team at Beef Plus Venture. There is no doubt this grant would enable them take beef vending business to a new pedestal!
No doubt, bro.
Your efforts are in order.
So is your comment

Uche, daalu
A great effort towards ensuring food safety from the farm to the table. More ventures like this along other food lines must be encouraged.
They must be encouraged, indeed

Well written. This scheme will help us allay the fear of flies-ridden meat sold at a market like ipata Ilorin. Thanks for this vision sir.
Yes, Salawu. Ilorin is top on our agenda
well written. with a vision like this, Nigerian ‘meating’ condition can be bettered. and all those flies-ridden meats at ipata Ilorin will be binned.
Your insight is appreciated

WOW am so sure Beef Plus Ventures is indeed a game changer…I love this initiative
Thank you sir
All the best.
Shukran
This initiative is long overdue.It is a worthy investment that merit both national and international grants after the bootstrapping efforts of the promoters of the venture. It is indeed a niche of Nigeria livestock commodity value chain that requires strategic supports.
Our problem is that we don’t evolve, we continue doing stuff the way our fore father did it. We need innovations, evolution. We can do better than them.
Great point, sir. We’ve getting some great feedback and soon Beef Plus will be making wave all over the country
I agree with you. More innovators need to intervene to revolutionise this very conservative sector. Thanks for your insight
This idea is commendable. Kudos.
Thanks.
brilliant biz and it will be wonderful have more pple ve access to hygiene meat. all d best
Habiba, healthy food healthier nation
Thank you
I am glad you embarked on this project. Laudable initiative. I wish you and your partner great success!
Thank you, aunti Adunni
You are creating for us a Nigeria where we dont have to go to shoprite to get hygienic meat. Thank you
Yes. Quality beef at affordable price
Nice concept. Highly laudable.
Thank you!
Looking forward to the greatness of this business, that means I don’t have to eat only fish when I come to Niger because i now have a clean source of meat..
Your support made this happen, BISI! Thank you for everything
Nice one
Shukran
meat in recent times has stirred up a lot of beef!
Nice pun. 🙂
It’s a great initiative, wish you all the best
Aisha, thank you for the wishes
This is an innovative venture that solves not just the nutritional problems of Nigerians but also the health hazards that have accompanied to quest. It has great potentials for sustaining itself and expanding across the country.
True. Beef Plus now sustains itself. Next is for it to be able to fund its own expansion
Woow……nice initiatives from a Goood Nigeria

Thsnk you, Noah
This is a good business venture and should be supported by those who know the importance of healthy living which extends to the food we consume.
I also particularly know that this kind of business allows other kinds of businesses to sprout from it. Well done Sodiq, here’s hoping the next we hear is the clinking of glasses for.a successful outing.
Enoquin: we have been beneficiary of various people’s kind gesture. We appreciate them all.
good initiative.
wish you all the best
O seun

Well done brother. This has a potential to create employment for the unemployed. God bless you.
It is creating employment already.
Gbenga, Beef Plus is already creating jobs. We are proud of that
Wonderful business plan showcasing the need assessment and baseline inventory!
Thank you
All I will say is that this is innovative. Kudos once again on this and I wish you the best. I am one of those always scared of the healthiness of meat I consume.
Beef Plus is here to remove that worry
A great idea worthy of our support.
It helps with unemployment problems while redirecting our orientation from the old unhygienic way of meat production.
I pray you do well.
Beef Plus helps solve many problems , thsnk you for recognising that
Looking at detailed need assessment (NA) and baseline facility inventory (BFI) enunciated above, this business is a success. Hope your product becomes indispensable household item soon. Wishing you the best.

Good initiative. This is modernising old trade and, in the process improving the hygiene level of consumers, thereby barring preventable diseases. Keep it up.
Bisi Alamu, baba, thank you for this! Means a lot
The processes employed in our convectional abattoirs for meat processing are not hygienic and this call for a serious concern
Taleat, let’s keep spreading the advocacy
This is a welcome idea @ Mr Sodiq Alabi, may Allah see you through.
Amin
very laudable idea
What a great initiative, more of this kind of initiative is needed to promote and safe the industry before it derailed like that of Derry Product which includes beef farming, cheese and milk production. Well done 👍
Crown, thank you
It’s hightime our government and various individuals promote and encourage private butchers and butcheries. Good job Bro
It is high time they did that. Thank you for your insight
This is a great project. I pray you get the grant as most of the diseases recorded are due to what we eat. Thumbs up to you.
Your support is appreciated

Great idea for you guys..
This is awesome
good idea
Beautiful proposal. Talking about an enterprise also concerned about health and environment. Truth is, anyone familiar with the meat market in Nigeria would encourage this type of initiative. But come to think of it, do you have plans of expanding into Lagos?
This is amazing. All the best with it.
I’m impressed. Good one.
