Ondo denies rejecting FG’s rice palliative
The Ondo State Food Palliative Committee has denied rejecting the 1,800 bags of rice donated to the state by the Federal Government aimed at cushioning the effects of the lockdown in the state due to the COVID-19.
” It is pertinent to react to the publication in some national newspapers that the Ondo State Government has rejected the bags of rice supplied to it by the Federal Government.“At no time did the state governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, instruct that the rice meant to assist the state to combat food insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic be rejected and returned to Abuja,” he said
” We discovered that less than 10 percent of the lot falls into this category, and subsequently separated the few bags,” he explained.
