A lot of news making the rounds that we rejected rice from the FG. This is false. At no time did we reject anything from the FG. We nonetheless have experienced similar issues experienced by other states with some of the bags. Those not suitable for consumption will be discarded.
We never rejected rice from the FG, but we discarded some which are not suitable for consumption - Governor Akeredolu
