I don't know what it is with this political urchins who go about snapping pics of uncompleted or abandoned projects as evidence that govt is working. If not because something is wrong with their brains, how is a project started since 2017 and presently stalled supposed to be great news?!!
I can bet that before end of this month, someone will go and snap second Niger bridge or Lagos-Ibadan rail as evidence of performance again.
How the level of governance keeps falling in this country

Local rice production has not taken advantage of border closure – Investigations
17 November 2019

• MITROS Rice Not Available In Ogun Markets
• No Lake Rice Production
• No Special Arrangement For Rice Farming In Kaduna
• Farmers, Processors, Count Gains In Kano

OGUN
Currently, Ogun State branded rice-MITROS Rice has vanished from the market, according to findings. Since the state allegedly rolled out 150,000 bags in November 2018, the product is not seen in the market, especially during the festive season when it was needed most. A section of the state residents, especially those living far from the state capital claimed little is heard of the brand.

From findings, only few people had access to it. It was alleged that access to the brand is complicated, as you could not walk into any market and get MITROS rice.

Even now, when the state ought to capitalise on the border closure to register its presence, it was confirmed by a reliable source that there is no MITROS rice in the market and there may not be any till next year.

The source disclosed that the milling machine at the Asero processing plant, has packed-up and there is no plan in the offing to put it back to work.

But the privately produced Ofada rice is thriving, but not in great quantities to saturate the markets.

LAGOS
Apart from the three years (2016-2018) LAKE Rice was made available to Lagosians that record was broken last December. The brand has totally disappeared from circulation.

In all the markets visited in Lagos, there was no Lake Rice for sale. At Amuwo-Odofin Shopping Centre, one of the traders said she last sold the brand in April.

Those in Mile 2 Oke market said they never sold Lake Rice. At Daleko Market, one of the traders claimed he sold the last batch about a month ago, which was at N18, 500. This was far higher than the price the state government pegged it.

The new administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu promised return of Lake Rice, but without subsidy, meaning an over 15 per cent price increase.

Before it went off the market, a 50kg sold for N12, 000; 25kg for N6, 000 and 10kg for N2, 500 in about 10 locations across the state, designated as sales points. The state government then said residents could only buy one bag, as it wanted to ensure that the rice got to everybody.

To increase the availability of Lake Rice beyond the 10 sales points, in December 2017, the state government sought the participation of major rice distributors by signing a partnership with them for the transportation, distribution and marketing of Lake Rice.

However, in the third quarter of 2018, after the government had signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for mass distribution and sales, the rice was no longer available at sales points and markets. And that was the scenario till former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode left office in May till now.

On the non-availability of the rice in markets, a source in the ministry of agriculture said the state government buys from Kebbi State, bag it and sell in Lagos, contrary to claims that the state has rice plantations in Kebbi.

“The process to buy another batch has not been concluded, reason it has not been in the market.”

There's a saying that if you walk in a market place don't throw stone and if you...... You know the rest

That someone question or give contrary opinion to government actions or policy does not mean
Hatred

Dandsome:

Gov Ibikunle amosun caught red handed. Phone technology and social media are great assets to us o.

Height of deceit by another APC governor.

Can someone please in the name of God tell me this isn't real.

JAGABAN SPEAKS: "You have your right to vote against us (APC) during 2019 election if you want but I remain in the Party because we will re-tool this party, we will re-tool this government. A damage of over 60 years and 16 years of mis- governance by PDP cannot be turned around overnight. Let’s be patient, let’s have the understanding, let’s hang on to hope." -

NwaAmaikpe:


They've said I'm a heartless dead soul who feels no empathy and only wishes people bad, but it is time to prove them wrong.

I won't further increase the sorrow of late Mrs Josephine Okoye whose dying wish was for this union not to exist by wishing them a happy anniversary.
In fact, for the love of family, I pray Peter wakes up one morning and walks away from this woman who has not only torn down the Psquare empire but has cracked the unity of a once indivisible dynasty.

This is one couple I don't wish well.
This is not because I think Peter is the weaklink of the Okoye chain or because he has proven to be the prodigal one but only because of my conscience.

A conscience I will never want to lose.
