The Federal
Government on Monday assured that all the rice distributed to states, were
certified fit for human consumption.
The Minister of
Humanitarian Affairs, Social Development and Disaster Management, Hajiya Sadiya
Farouq, stated this while addressing newsmen in Abuja today.
Farouq claimed that
the rice was accessed by the National Agency for Food Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC), before they went sent out.
According to her, “we
all know if we keep rice or grain it is bound to change colour but that does
not mean it is unfit for human consumption”.
The Governor of Oyo
State, Seyi Makinde, had accused the federal government of sending contaminated
rice to the state.
Makinde had however
sent back the three trailer loads of rice containing about 1,800 bags.
