The Ministry of Agriculture, Thursday, explained that the palliatives being carted away by hoodlums belongs to BUA group of companies and other states.
The Ministry, stated that Lagos State has been distributing its own palliatives as the state officially received them a month ago.
“We had to start doing rebagging and that took us some time.
“We have given to religious bodies, transporters, artisans, physically challenged people and so on.
“Even the community that is looting now were given. And what they have looted belongs to other groups.
“So people saying we are heartless are really uninformed. It is because of the #Endsars protest that we were told to stop.
“We do not have to make noise when we distribute because of chaos. It is so sad” the Ministry explained.
