The Abia State Government has denied receiving 20 trucks of rice from the Federal Government as palliative aid. The Commissioner for Information clarified that no such shipment arrived, dismissing rumors of 50kg bags of rice being sold for ₦40,000 as fake news.
Governor Otti also clarified that the ₦570 billion supposedly disbursed by the Federal Government is actually a World Bank loan, not a free grant.
