Ebonyi Governor Bans Eating of Foreign Rice

 Unknown     20:56:00     Home, News     No comments   



On Wednesday shortly after inspecting Iboko and Ikwo rice mill clusters, Chief David Umahi placed a ban on eating of Foreign rice at public functions and ordered that the Abakaliki rice be served  instead.

While briefing journalists in Abakaliki, he said "The parboiling process of Abakaliki rice makes it durable unlike the imported rice which does not undergo parboiling; that is why after six months it
becomes chaff and unhealthy for consumption.

That is why we have stopped our cooks from cooking any other rice except Abakaliki rice."

The governor stated that the parboiling plants fully installed in the two locations would enhance massive rice production in the state, adding that the problem of inadiquate water supply identified as militating against optimal function of the machines would soon be resolved.

He expressed confidence that the price of local rice which has inflated would gradually drop when government policies on rice production are fully implemented.

Umahi explained that the available rice mills were not enough but that his government had concluded plans to establish three more rice mills in the state.
