The consignment was delivered to the State by the Nigeria Customs Service on the orders of the Federal Government.Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Sadiya Umar Farouq,But Adeyeye stated that NAFDAC was not invited to take samples and conduct consumption fitness test.In her explanation, Adeyeye explained that only the consignments to Lagos and Ogun States were tested by NAFDAC and certified fit for consumption.
“The one for Oyo State, I cannot say anything because NAFDAC was not called by the Ibadan or South-West Command of the Customs, to test samples in Ibadan. I cannot speak about the Ibadan command rice that went to Oyo and possibly to Osun. “I don’t know why NAFDAC was not called to take samples from the Oyo State Command to test. We were not invited to come and take samples and we cannot do that.
“The ones that we tested were good enough and the rest of the samples are still in the lab in Oshodi”, she said.
