While Anita argued that Lake Rice needed improved processing, the Special Adviser countered that the rice was safe enough for consumption; adding that it does not cause male consumers to develop low sperm count.
They both spoke at the fifth annual lecture organised by the Lagos State Polytechnic Alumni Association, entitled, ‘Agriculture and its value chain potentials: Challenges and way forward.’
The lecture, which held on Tuesday, had experts speak on the development of agricuture and rice processing in the country.
Speaking on the title, ‘Rice processing, empowerment and safety,’ Anita explained that her research showed that the processing of Lake Rice was faulty.
Anita, who is the initiator of ‘We_have_rice,’ said, “Lake rice is actually chemical- and preservatives-free; but there is something that is wrong with the processing that you people (Lagos State Government) don’t know.”
Narrating her experience in rice production business, she said, “I was in Kebbi where I have my farm and went to a processing company dealing with rice, which I will not mention.
“I was there to research how they process Lake Rice. From my research, the rice needs to be well processed. I rest my case.
