The governor stated this in a press conference he held in the state capital, Uyo, on Monday April 27. He announced a decision to subject the rice to scientific test to ascertain whether such should be distributed to the people of the State. Quote:“The only palliative we have gotten from the Federal Government is 1,800 bags of custom bonded warehouse rice. As I am taking to you, the rice is in the warehouse. It is a gift. We have sent it for test and until the test result is out, we will not distribute it to our citizens. It is not good for consumption,” he said. The Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Sadiya Umar-Farouq, has however denied claims that the rice sent to some states were in bad condition. According to her, NAFDAC certified the bags of rice before they were distributed. Quote:''As you may recall, we mentioned here that we distributed the rice relief to the states. |
