The Federal Government has announced the sale of 30,000 metric tonnes of subsidised milled rice, with purchases limited to public servants possessing registered National Identification Numbers (NIN).

The initiative, launched by Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Abubakar Kyari on September 5, 2024, aims to combat food inflation and curb racketeering.

Rice will be sold at a flat rate of ₦40,000 for 50kg bags, with a strict “one bag per person” policy.

Kyari, represented by President Bola Tinubu, highlighted this as a key effort to address food security and price challenges exacerbated by global issues like the Russia-Ukraine conflict and COVID-19.
