The representative of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security
who was on the ground to monitor the exercise affirmed that no money was given to anybody for the project.

He extolled Senator Umeh’s level of sincerity, honesty and transparency in the execution of the project and noted that the project was in full compliance with the Federal Government’s directive.

In addition,Ekwolo noted that though he was not from Anambra Central, the people of Anambra Central Senatorial District were lucky to have Senator Victor Umeh as their Senator.

Our correspondent learnt that some senators had not been able to get the palliatives for their constituencies because of the stringent processes involved in accessing the palliatives.

On his part, the State Chairman of the Labour Party, Chief Ugochukwu Emeh commended Senator Victor Umeh for his proactive performance in the Senate, noting that LP members were proud having him elected on the platform of the party.
