The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has begun the distribution of 12,000 bags of rice and maize to over three million Nigerians residing across the six area councils of the territory.

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, disclosed this on Monday during the distribution ceremony in Kwali Area Council that each of the council would have 2,000 bags of rice and maize.

Represented by Bitrus Garki, Mandate Secretary, Area Council Secretariat, FCTA, Wike explained that the exercise was part of the ongoing distribution of palliatives to vulnerable residents living in the nation’s capital.

He said that some of the food items had already been distributed to various groups by the FCTA in the last two weeks.

“This includes Area Councils, representatives of 17 Chiefdoms, religious organisations, civil servants and vulnerable groups.

“The feedback we received from that exercise was incredibly encouraging, which is why we are expanding the distribution today”, he said.

According to the Minister, the exercise was to align with the renewed hope agenda of the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He said the administration aims to instil hope for a better future for all Nigerians.

“Under this distribution phase, we are bringing the items closer to the people, ensuring direct outreach to the vulnerable groups, taking place simultaneously in all the six Area Councils of the FCT,” he added.

This items will only be delivered to the important once, those in need of it can get it

There are about 64 derica in one 50kg bag rice.

64 * 12,000 bags, then divide by 3m residents, that equals to approximately 4 derica of rice for each resident.

Okay na.

Correction: it’s actually 4 people to one derica. That is to say, one person gets a milk cup of rice.

Imagine. It’s very sad.

Why do they keep mocking Nigerians? Is this the solution? Imagine 250 people sharing 50kg bag of rice (let’s hope it’s 50kg & not 25kg).
12,000 bags for 3 million people?! That’s sad

Okay na.

E no reach 4 derica per person. Na quarter derica per person OR 4 people per derica. Calculate am again you go see.

I learnt a bag of rice has a mass/weight of 50kg.
12,000 x 50kg = 600,000kg
600,000kg / 3,000,000 = 0.2kg

This is why Nigeria is retrogressing! Majority of the people at the helm of affairs of our nation CANNOT THINK SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO SOLVE THE HUGE PROBLEM FACING THIS NATION. Imagine this very !d!otic palliative they are giving out (0.2kg of rice per person, for how long ?) 😂 😂 😂 😂 😆 😆 😆
But anyways, I don't really blame the leaders, I blame those that voted Buhari, TWICE, then decided also that Tinubu is the right man to succeed him 😂😆. And I'm sure Tinubu will still enter for second term.
If we continue to vote for people without integrity, that are unfit to lead/govern, then we deserve the kind of treatment we are getting.
I hope we get sense someday and choose our leaders wisely 🤔

12, 000 bags of rice to 3 million citizens of this country? Let them tell this nation the billions that was embezzled to facilitate this wasteful jamboree. What kind of insult is this by this satanic APC government to this country?

How long does the economically bereft govt thinks this corrupt venture will last? What useless hope is being renewed with this wastefully corruption and useless government recycled policy of corruptly enriching the pockets of some die hard fellas in the corridors of power.

I never see my own oh, where is my own?

Rather than look for a perfect solution to this current economic predicaments, they are sharing rice up and down. I think Nigeria Governments is very lazy mentally or they re just wicked

It is not well

Really confused government. .

Well that is the treatment the north in particular deserves.

They would eat about 4 derica of rice for 4 years. One derica of rice a year

Those who voted for APC, how renewed is your hope.

This monies should have been used to get buses to subsidise transportation. There everyone would have a feel of it as against one derica of rice for one year

Hmmmmm where is the palliative

At least each family will get one cup each, for six months,tinubu is really working ooo,,,, 🤣🤣🤣

ANY PALLIATIVE THAT HAS TO DO WITH SHARING IS JUST A PLOY TO EMBEZZLE MONEY

NIGERIA, My Country

Fu(k

All these palliatives and cash transfer initiative are all useless. Politicians have really turned us to fools in this country 🤦🏽‍♂️

12,000 bags for 3 million people?! That’s sad

Very very annoying. .

The almajiri system works in the north. . So they are used to being slaves to their own thieving brothers. .

Sometimes when you hear what most of our politicians celebrate as achievements, your belle go just begin worry you.

How can 12,000 bags of rice cater for 3m people. Nothing short of wickedness, in a country where some people each got a N200m vehicle.

Lord God have mercy

The day the revolution go happen eh!!! Our leaders have proven over and again their lack of interest in moving this country forward. They have zilch interest in positioning this country for the better, but on a very good day!! E go play out!

We don start again...

Before we criticize government initiatives...are palliatives such as distribution of food items or conditional cash transfer for EVERY RESIDENTS

The answer is No...these initiatives are for specific targeted vulnerable groups (how they come about those in the group or register is another argument entirely) ..My point is, it will be wrong to say 12,000 bags is meant for 3 Million residents.

That said, Government should beging to look into palliatives that touches most citizens .. especially the private workers..we are yet to get anything...Can you atleast suspend personal income tax for a while for those of us working with private organisations? Give us a tax holiday of 6months...just as FGN workers are getting #35,000 for six months.

Okay na.

No need 12,000/3,000,000=0.004. Now you will know why APC government is a joker. I honestly pray God should give our leaders sense for once

Kai....12 bags of rice to 3million people??

Why are we so wicked in this country??

One of the wealthiest oil producing nations on earth. .

A country with the fifth largest gold reserve in Africa. . With iron ore, natural gas, and several mining prospects. .

Very shameless and demonic leaders. .

We never see anything... Behbeh is coming..

That is an average of more than 200 persons per bag...what a sorry state!!!

My wife works in a local government in ogun state. She brought 10kg Non for sale government palliative rice home. She told me the rice is many in their store and they refuse to share it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nigerians that can hadly feed themselves like sukanmi aka freestuffz will come and praise this fuckery🤣🤣

This is the APC strategy to lift people out of poverty.
Share rice for masses and their zombies will come and start worshipping them
