Interesting!Akwa Ibom Governor also says he can’t share FG’s rice to citizens until it is tested
Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has suspected that the 1800 bags of custom bonded warehouse rice sent to the State as Federal Government palliative for Covid-19 may not be suitable for consumption.
Governor Emmanuel has, therefore, announced a decision to subject the rice to scientific test to ascertain whether such should be distributed to the people of the State.
The Governor who made this public during a press conference in Uyo on Monday said he has strong reservations against distributing a food item that has shown serious signs of decay to the people of the state.
“For the relief materials from the Federal Government, we got 1800 bags of custom bonded warehouse rice. That gift is not good for me to distribute to my citizens. We have sent it for the test, but it doesn’t look good enough for consumption” he said
