Nigerian youths are found of making a mockery of an intellectual discourse. So you are comparing Ebony brown rice to Large Scale Rice Agro Mechanised Farming & Milling. Those who managed Stallion Group, Olam, Flour Mills Nigeria, Life Flour Mill, Dangote, Churchgate group & other big companies importing rice into Nigeria ,Clearing & forwarding companies, customs, banks & Daleko market rice sellers association & Kano Rice Importers/sellers know what it means to ban importation & produce locally. You are displaying Ebony brown rice when we are talking about substitute for Stallion rice or mama gold or any of Thai / Indian parboiled rice imported into Nigeria with billion of dollars of oil money. Where are Nigerian youths?
Dr Femi Adesina worked very hard, but he was not in charge of economic policy.

.
Lol...that you dont know about some things does not mean others dont as well. I have bought both Ebony Super and Olamo mama's pride and I can tell u the diff...do not jump into the middle of wat you do not knw about.
Do urself a favour and do a lil research for just few minutes and u wil be amazed

Google is not for fancy

R u google? Or is it google that sent u to make unsubstantiated claims? Always get ur fact right before going public, it's not every body that's gullible, Nigerians r wise now.

naijapips04:
repackaged. Who are these people trying to fool?

Made in Nigeria rice and 25kg cost 10k?

Meaning that 1 full bag of rice (50kg) would cost 20k. Ndi Ara!

nigerian rice is of higher quality! the foreign rice you get from thailand and india has been sitting in their silos and warehouses, thats what they give to africans like you. nigerian rice is straight from farm, fresh

tballeyy:
Even 50kg of Lake rice is 13500

It's 12,000,buy direct from Lagos state,I just got a 50kg bag from LTV ,Agidingbi.

Seun360:


Abeg, how is that Lake Rice?

very good , go to any local government in Lagos state , u will get it there

somehow:
Buhari started recession? Recession that started since 2012 and peaked in 2016. Some of you self.. maybe you think recession is like noodles that takes 5 mins to get prepared. Where were you when Okonjo was borrowing money to pay salaries in 2015? God help una.

Killer herdsmen started in 2015? God! It only became extremely popular when a known Fulani man turned president + sensational news coverage from the media for selfish gain. Both didn't start in 2015, get educated, research and stop being lazy.

That's why I called them lazy youths because they even find it difficult to read history before coming to the forum and start arguing over what they don't know. Most of them don't even know that Nigeria was at the brink of collapsing before this government took over, when Ngozi okwunjo was telling them that they are borrowing money to salaries and who so ever wins the 2015 election will find it difficult to contend with they were busy sleeping.

uboma:
A 25kg bag of foreign rice is cheaper than our local rice.

local rice is richer and better

Skinnienigga:



Oga relax. PMB didn't start this.

but isn’t he continuing it brilliantly to amazing success ? Should he have discontinued it ?

Lagbaja01:
Under normal circumtance, that 25kg local rice should be sold for a price between N4500 & N5000.... imagin selling iPhone 6 N160k Tecno L3 N220k... This govt is a big scam!

is it government selling the rice ? Is it not factors of production that determine price ? Is it not better to have value- chain benefits in Nigeria that will create jobs and food sufficiency even if the rice is more expensive initially ? When gsm first started dating don’t people buy line at N25,000 ? How much is it now ? Let’s always try and look at the bigger picture instead of condemning everything !

So a sim that could be sold for N250 was sold for N25000, and you think it's fair?

SAY IT LOUDER: AKWA IBOM RICE IS HERE

The food sufficiency drive of Governor Udom Emmanuel led-administration in Akwa Ibom State has recorded another significant breakthrough following a presentation by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Sufficiency, Dr Uduak Charles Udo- Inyang, to the state Executive Council, the Long Grain Rice ; cultivated, processed and packaged by the state Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sufficiency in conjunction with Technical Committee On Agriculture.

The Akwa Ibom State Government has recorded another giant stride in food sufficiency with the production of 160,000 metric tons of long grain rice for local and international consumption.

The rice, Family Rice, was presented during the State Executive Council, EXCO, Meeting presided over by the State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel at the Council Chamber, Government House, Uyo.

The Chairman in Council, Governor Emmanuel, said that the feat was in line with the state government’s target of crashing the price of staple food in the market, adding that in no distant time, at least, 80% of food consumed in Akwa Ibom would be produced from the state.

He expressed delight that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sufficiency and the Technical Committee on Food Sufficiency has been able to set the direction of crashing the price of rice just as it has attained impressive reduction of the price of garri in the market, stressing that the state is blessed with suitable climate to utilize and meet the demand of consumers.

THE GOVERNOR STATED, “THIS IS NOT A DRAWING BOARD, THIS IS NOT A CONCEPT, IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DONE AND TESTED. THIS IS GROWN IN AKWA IBOM, PROCESSED AND BAGGED IN AKWA IBOM STATE”, HOPING THAT BY JULY 11, THE RICE MILL WOULD BE INAUGURATED.

In his remarks, the Chairman, Technical Committee on Food Sufficiency, Professor Edet Udoh, indicated that the State Government signed the Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, to partner Agricon Company on the project in July 16, 2016 and commenced production by May, 2017.

Prof.Udoh disclosed that the long grain rice takes about 120 days to mature from time of planting to harvesting, noting that the turnover of160,000 metric tons was realized as against the initial target of 176,000 metric tons and attributed the shortfall to heavy rainfall.

He disclosed that 10,000 bags of 50kg was already on ground to hit the market soon, assuring that with increase in yield at the nearest future, the state government would realize its target of crashing the price of rice in the market.

The Commissioner of Agriculture and Food Sufficiency, Dr. Uduak Udo-Inyang, who presented several bags of the rice at the EXCO meeting, said that the rice factory commenced production on a 600 hectares of farmland at Ini Local Government Area, last year, expressing hope of replicating it in Uruan and Okobo Local Government Areas.

Dr. Udo-Inyang explained that the initiative was a Public Private Partnership, PPP, between the State Government and Agricon, indicating that the name, Ibom Agricon Rice Factory was derived from the merger and added that further information about the Mill would be provided during inauguration.

Assuring on the quality of the rice, the Agriculture and Food Sufficiency boss said, “We are giving rice that can compete internationally but our target is to make sure that we feed our people first and foremost before we think of exporting”.

In an interview with Government House Press Crew, shortly after the meeting, the State Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Mr. Charles Udoh, said that the meeting was basically to review performance of the administration in all sectors, within the last three years, maintaining that the evaluation was necessary to note the achievements and gaps while deliberating on ways for improvement.

According to Mr. Udoh, who was flanked by his Agriculture and Science and Technology counterparts, “Today was a recap. In every establishment, in every management process, when you take a step forward, you need to also look back to see what you have done well and what you need to do better to ensure that the people maximally receive the benefits of democracy”.

He recalled that the scorecard of the present administration in the last three years, was published and presented during the third anniversary celebration, acknowledging that the report has attracted applause and commendations on the landmark achievements recorded by the administration despite challenges of recession.

On his part, the Commissioner of Science and Technology , Dr. Nse Essien, said that his Ministry, in partnership with International Business Machine, IBM, was set to offer Information and Communications Technology, ICT, training to 10,000 indigenes of the state, mentioning that participation is open to every Akwa Ibom person irrespective of background.

Dr. Essien noted that the Akwa Ibom Oil and Gas Training Center, which was inaugurated recently, was established to cater for the development of capacity in the oil and gas sector to ensure maximal benefits from the abundant natural resources in the state, assuring that discussions are ongoing with investors for the development of Ibom Science Park.
