He assured that with the augmentation of the palliative with N1 billion, couple with the 3,000 bags of rice and N 2 billion so far received from the federal government, the over 2, 270 villages in the state should be hopeful to get at least 50 bags of rice each.

Explaining the modus operandi of sharing the materials, Eno said: “I am sure each village will get between at least 50 bags. We will give to the Hausa community, Yoruba community, Igbo community, Niger Delta community, and all of the security services, and all other people that may not be able to get to villages. They are not village people, but they are also part of us in Akwa Ibom.
