FG N40,000 rice out of reach, Nigerians lament

However, many Nigerians have complained that the sales points are inaccessible.

On September 15, an official from the agriculture ministry, in an attempt to address public concerns, informed our correspondent that sales to non-civil servants would begin on Monday, September 16.

“We started with civil and public servants because they possess the necessary credentials. Before purchasing, one must present a valid identity card and National Identification Number.

“Sales points were set up at the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission,” the official, who spoke in confidence due to lack of authorisation to speak on the matter, explained.

He assured Nigerians that sales to the general public would begin on September 16, reiterating the government’s commitment to ensuring everyone benefits from the initiative.
