Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker
representing Kaduna Central district at the National Assembly has said that the
warning issued by the Comptroller-General of Nigerian Customs Service, Col.
Hameed Ali, about the existence of expired rice in the market may fall on deaf
ears.
According to Sani, Nigerians are
hungry and may not even check if the rice is expired.
Ali had on Wednesday while
inspecting the Area I Command, Port Harcourt and Area II Command of Nigeria
Customs Service, Onne where they destroyed containers of foreign rice smuggled
into the country, warned that Nigerians are eating expired rice without knowing
it.
Ali warned that Nigerians eating
foreign rice are consuming the expired product.
The Custom boss further stated
that border closure will benefit the nation in the future, adding that citizens
need to make sacrifices.
Reacting to this in a tweet on
Thursday, Sani said, “When people are hungry, they can hardly hear the warnings
of Ali or Baba that the rice in their pots has expired.”
