Good News!! Lagos To Sell N13,000 Bag Of Rice During Christmas

The Lagos State Government on Friday said
it could not commence the sale of its Lake
Rice on December 15 as earlier planned to
ensure that plots to hijack the project was
averted.
The Special Adviser on Food Security to
Governor Akinwumi Ambode, Mr. Sanni
Okanlawan, said that the rice would now be
on sale as from next week.
The government had planned to sell the rice
at N13,000 per 50kg bag at the 57 Local
Government and Local Council Development
area headquarters from Dec. 15.
Okanlawon said the government was
installing mechanisms for Lagosians to
celebrate the best Yuletide without hiccups
posed by money bags.
He said, “We are working out the
modalities to make sure that what the
government intends to sell at N13,000 was
not hijacked and sold to Lagosians at
N15,000, that is what we do not want.
“From all indications, hopefully, by next
week Lake Rice will be out, so, we want
everything to be in place before it is out.”
LASG had on December 8 promised that it
was ready to roll out Lake Rice on
December 15 to Lagosians at N13,000 per
50 kg towards the Yuletide celebrations.
