Federal Government Rolls Out Sale of 30,000 Metric Tonnes of Subsidised Rice: NIN Registration Required
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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
