Nigeria is in the throes of a fresh outbreak of African swine fever which has affected 145,000 pigs in Oke Aro, West Africa's largest pig farm estate.
African swine fever is a highly contagious haemorrhagic disease of pigs.
The main cluster of the outbreak is in Oke-Aro pig farm settlement, one of the largest pig farming estates in West Africa.
This number excludes individual pig farms, large and small, that have been devastated by the disease.
All pig farms should be registered with government to standardise practice and make it easier to track disease.
