A post on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter recently claimed that Governor Oyetola commissioned cooking pots.
Verdict:
The story is obviously an example of a MISLEADING content, as the governor did not commission cooking pots, rather, he distributed cooking pots in the process of inaugurating 2,210 new food vendors in the state.

He inaugurated food vendors; not cooking pots
Tribune online notes the actual premise to be the inauguration of 2,210 new food vendors; to boost the home-grown school feeding programme initiative in the state. This was revealed by Mr Ismail Omipidan, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Oyetola.
“What happened on the 18th of November was the official inauguration of 2,210 newly-recruited food vendors to boost the home-grown school feeding programme initiative in the state but we don’t know where they saw the fake news they are carrying around to suit their malicious narrative.
The governor only distributed cooking utensils and not just pot to the newly inaugurated food vendors,” Omipidan narrated.
His main goal with China, he said, is to secure a “fair trade deal.”
