The Taraba state government has announced that it is yet to receive its allocation of twenty trucks of rice promised to each state by the federal government.

The state Commissioner for Information and Re-Orientation, Barr. Zainab Usman Jalingo, told Vanguard over the weekend, that the state is still expecting the promised food items.

She noted that the state Commissioner for Special Duties, Saviour Noku, who is supposed to handle the receipt of the food items, has not received any communication from the federal level regarding the dispatch of the 20 trucks of rice to the state.

According to her, “as far as Taraba state is concerned, we have not received any allocation of twenty trucks of rice.

“The only addendum I can add to this is that as at Thursday, when the governor addressed the youths that came out to protest out of hunger, the rice given to those youths were owned by the state government.

“The rice were bought by the state ALGON and had been at the store before the governor instructed that it should be shared among the protestors as succour for the anger and pain of hunger that brought them out.”
