The Ebonyi Government has said it was concluding plans to
enforce a ban on the sale of foreign rice in markets and other outlets in the
state.
Governor David Umahi made the disclosure recently in
Abakaliki when he received some visitors to the state.
The governor said the order would soon be enforced to
ensure that the residents patronized home-grown Ebonyi Rice.
It is a well known fact that Abakaliki rice was one of
the well known in the country before it was relegated. Now the governor of the
state has said that in order to start charity at home he has banned cooking of
imported rice in the government house.
The governor further said most rice brought into the
country are not parboiled and after a certain time it becomes poison.
