Mrs. Helen Ngozi, the Area Controller, Oyo, and Osun Command, delivered the 6,000 bags of rice on behalf of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, to the representatives of the four states at the service’s zonal headquarters in Ibadan. Ngozi said the gesture was in fulfillment of the promise by the management of the customs to send palliatives to states to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on the people. She said: “Each of the four states with the exception of Ondo will receive 1,800 bags of parboiled rice, while Ondo will get 600 bags.’’ She said Ondo state would get the remaining shortfall of 1,200 bags from Lagos office of the customs.
