The House of Representatives Joint Committee on Healthcare Services/Drugs and Narcotics says it is ready to reveal identities of persons behind the alleged importation of fake, substandard and cancer-causing tomato paste into Nigeria.

The co-chairman of the joint committee, Eucharia Azodo, disclosed the readiness of the committee, weekend, when members visited the Lagos headquarters of the Conserveria Africana Limited.

He said that shaming those responsible for the importation of the deadly tomato paste would boost industrial and agricultural reforms of the current administration.

In his remarks, the chairman of the Conserveria Africana Limited, Francis Ogboro, appealed to the federal government to save the tomato industry from collapse, saying importation of the deadly tomato paste could have adverse effects on the economy.
