The senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Godswill Akpabio has revealed earlier today that a whooping amount of N30,000,000,000 has been disbursed to the governors of each state in the country to curb the massive effect of food scarcity hovering in the country.

Akpabio who revealed that it’s an unverified report but urge the governors to spend the money wisely, to reduce the chanting of hunger in the country.

According to Akpabio, he said “I must say that unverified report has it that each of the state governments in the last few months has received additional N30 billion from Federal Inland Revenue Service outside their normal allocations from the Federation Account to assist them in ameliorating the food situation.

“We believed that every state government should utilise the funds received towards ensuring that food is available in the country.

“So, the state governments have a lot to do. They are closer to the people and I do not want to mention local government because most of the local governments are controlled by the state governors.

“My belief is that if the state government does what is needed, then the local government will be involved in sharing to make sure that these things get to the people. But we must not overlook the fact that Nigerians are not going to be interested in stories.

“Nigerians want to see action. Nigerians want to eat and we will provide food for them, there is no excuse. Despite what we met on ground” Mr Akpabio added.

Senator Godswill Akpabio who also received a backlash from Nigerians after claiming that the protest held in various part of the country are sponsors that Nigeria are still ok with the condition of things.

He further claimed that the protesters and their sponsors failed to recognise efforts made by the Senate and the federal government to fight inflation in the country.

“The situation is revolving daily. You can see a lot of protests here and there but those people are not aware. Most of those sponsored protests are not aware of the kind of efforts being made by this Senate to tackle the situation together with the joint management team of the Federation Government of Nigeria.

“There is no father that will want to see his child sleep in the night without food with the stomach grumbling, so we must provide. That is why I said we must not limit our discussion to – we will not import food, wherever we can find food to put on the table of Nigerians, we shall do so.”
