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 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.”

All these political English sef!! Modalities??. Can you just sell the stoned palliative rice already and get it over it?

13000 is still a far cry from 9000 last year before Babu spoit the country! Don't think you are doing anybody a favour, and from all indications, it is not that the sale going to last anyways.

We are going back to inflated price after they exhaust the temporary rice! Why the fuss?

They should start selling at that price before i believe them

Still waiting for when a common man will be able to afford island rice..

hurray

They can. Its not a must they buy a bag

We are always our own problem, imagine how some people are already plotting how to divert what is mearnt for people to survive.
Until we promulgates death penalty for corruption and punish who ever is involve without any wailer buying media to insight sentiment just to cover their corruption, I'm afraid Nigeria will not move forward.

Nonsense! For their mind they think say dem dey work Until una return the price of rice to what it used to be before una take over, No work done
