President Bola Tinubu’s government has commenced the distribution of grains to states in order to cushion the hardship caused by the fuel subsidy removal and other economic policies.

The minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, disclosed this on Tuesday while appearing before lawmakers at the National Assembly.

The minister was invited by the lawmakers, led by Senator Saliu Mustapha to brief Nigerians on Federal Government’s plan to curb rising food costs and plans to make it available to the poor and vulnerable in the country.

The minister told the lawmakers that the Federal Government had kicked-off the distribution of 42,000 metric tonnes of grains to some focal points in state capitals across the country.

He said: “We have received directive and approval from Mr. President to distribute for immediate impact 42,000 metric tonnes of assorted grains free of charge to the Nigerian population.

“This was received in mid-February, as we are speaking we have a record of the distribution being carried out, but I will want to plead with the Honorable House members and Distinguished senators that some of the movements can’t be made public but a lot of states have started receiving their grains.

“We are distributing to state capitals in the first instance as you all are aware the risk involved in the vandalism of foodstuff; so, we are working with the office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and other national security agencies.


“Furthermore, 58,500 metric tons of milled rice from mega rice millers will also be released into the market for stabilisation,” he said.

The minister said that the action of the government became important in order to cushion the hardship on Nigerians which he said, will soon become a thing of the past.

He told the lawmakers that his ministry was working with the ONSA and other national security outfits to address issues on vandalism of food warehouses.

Senator Mustapha told reporters after the session that he was satisfied with the steps being taken by the Federal Government to ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians.

“From our interactive session, we are fully in the picture of what is happening. We are convinced that the steps being taken by the Federal Government is in the right direction,” the senator said.

“All we did again is to further emphasise the need for certain things to be done on time. I think from this collaborative approach by the grace of God, Nigerians will have a better feel of the government policy on food security.”

Wetin dem dey load inside dat truck na bags of cement i dey see so, and not bags of grains.

States again? FG should bypass these governors and distribute the grains itself.

Governors and their cronies would find ways to hoard them for ulterior reasons

Wait, another Bulaba is loading

Which grains are we talking about?

The expired ones or...?

Anyway I laugh in Swahili 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How many times will this news headline keep coming up

FG should find a way to sell this grain directly.

Politicians at state level are worse than Federal Government because they know the people concentrate more on Abuja.

Governors and their cronies will take everything to themselves and still blame FG. 😂

Just see how people are clapping for them.the other day, some fools were thanking sanwo olu for creating market where goods were to be sold for 25% discount. They have used poverty a d hunger to gain control over psyche of masses. Obasanjo pls come and rule, even if for life. It will save us this nonsense
