Lagos releases 20,000 bags of Eko Rice, pegs 50kg at N43k, 25kg for N22k
barristerng.comNov 30, 2023 10:46 AM


Lagos State Government has concluded plans to release additional 20,000 bags of Eko Rice for distribution to various designated markets for the period of Yuletide in the month of December.The state government, while saying that 20, 000 bags had earlier been released in the month of November, added that the number represent 10 per cent of total requirement of rice consumption of over 25 million estimated residents.


Special Adviser to Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu on Agriculture, Dr. Oluwarotimi Fashola, disclosed this on Wednesday, during an inspection tour of the Lagos Rice Mill, in Imota, Ikorodu, in preparation for the Yuletide festivities.

The Lagos Rice Mill, in Imota is an agricultural plant in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria.

It is the located on 8.5 hectares of land in Imota area of Ikorodu.


It was built in 2021 and expected to commence full production in the first quarter of 2023, according to Governor Sanwo-Olu.

Also, the state Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, assured that the Imota rice mill would be inaugurated soon.

The Lagos State government had signed a funding agreement with the Lagos Commodities and Futures Exchange (LCFE) to raise US$ 216M from investors to reinforce the Imota rice mill operations in a bid to exploit its capacity.

However, it was gathered that the sum of N300 billion had been expended on the construction of the facility so far.

Imota mill was then commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari early year 2023 as the country aimed toward self-sufficiency in rice production.

The ultra-modern mill, the largest in Africa and third globally has a production capacity of 32 metric tonnes per hour with an overall storage capacity of 40,000 tonnes.

The mill is operated by Wacot Rice Limited, a subsidiary of the investment holding company Tropical General Investment (TGI) Group, and is expected to produce around 2.5 million 50 kg bags of rice per year under the “Eko Rice” brand.

According to Fashola, “The rice mill initiative has an annual need of more than 240 000 tons of paddy to fully exploit its capacity.

“If we don’t have enough paddy rice which is our raw material, all the equipment and infrastructure we have at Imota will be useless.

“Thanks to the state Governor’s support in partnership with Commodities Exchange, we can maintain the flow of paddy to the mill.

“Lagos is the largest consumer of rice in Nigeria. Lagos consumes 40m bags of rice annually. On a daily basis we have about 25 million people and each person consumes on a yearly basis about 50kg so we can start breaking it down to what a person consumes in a year.

“We produce 10 percent of what Lagos consumes. We are hoping to go to 20 percent but right now we produce 10 percent.

“If you look at that in proportion to the state you can see that we can only do as much and that is why we are saying that you go to this market, go to that market and get it.

“We cannot flood all markets in Lagos. So if you go to Ikorodu, Daleko, Ketu you will get. If you go to Imota, if you want to buy a bag, you can buy.

“We will improve distribution as time goes on but that is what the situation is right now.

“When I see increase distribution, I means increase visibility to outlets. So they have more distribution outlets for example, we may say we zone out Lagos and say Lagos Island here but remember it’s not Government distribution so somebody in Lagos island says I want to buy this rice and go to supply in Sura and we can say go to Sura Market to get this rice.

“Here in Imota that sells Eko Rice. Same in Ikorodu but is it everyone in Ikorodu that knows? No.

“We need to understand the dynamics of our population vis-a-vis distribution so when you talk about flooding, this means wherever you go, you find it. It is impossible.

“But right now we have Eko Rice in the market. Yulitide is coming and people are expecting and want to go to a corner shop and get Eko Rice.

“We need to manage that ego. It’s reality, let’s be frank, you cannot get to every corner shop and get it. You can go to designated places and buy.

“But in this Christmas period, we are trying as much as possible that the product is limited to Lagos as much as possible.

“From November to date we have about, give or take, 20,000 bags. Between now and Christmas, we hope to have another 20,000 bags going out.

“We want to distribute it within the state as much as possible.

“A 50 kg will cost about N43,000 per bag, while 25 kg will cost about N22, 000 per bag.

“In our own little way, we will do more about informing the people where to get it. Go to the designated places to find it.

“When we started, we noticed a lot of things. We noticed that some people bought our rice and moved it out of the state.

“We also noticed that some people rebagged our rice into foreign bags. Overtime we have been able to kind of adjust that.

“We are not doing this alone, we are working in partnership with commodities boardm When we noticed something, we tell commodities that xyz has done this and for this reason, we need to change the tactics and that is why we are selling to more people with serial numbers.

“You cannot come back to say you want to buy 50 trucks, we won’t because we know that they can be manipulated.

“So right now if you want a truck or two, yes you can, one bag each, yes you can and we are monitoring what is going on.

“We can’t be everywhere but as much as we can we are monitoring where do our rice go to. This year our rice was as far way out at Port Harcourt and at Benin.”

Una try, but this is not enough for a street in Lagos 😂 they should be looking at 200 million not 20,000 we are not serious

What exactly did Delta use all that money for, look at Rivers states with all it's projects is actually half of what Delta state is owing.

I believe part of the money was used to sponsor Atiku 😂

Racoon:
The economy is comatose. power issue is a perinnal problem back home, healthcare zero, security- precarious with their region being the most affected under the siege and plague of banditry, BH terrorism & attendants problems but that is not their concern.

Lobbying for use of Nigeria's scarce resources to better the lot of their cousins in Niger Republic is their topmost priority. Nothing new. Their affinity and allegiance is never to Nigeria but to Niger Republic. Even Buhari self said if anyone disturbs him in Nigeria, then he will head to Niger Republic

Do you blame them, this is misplaced priority, they don't have anything to say or introduce that would better the situation we currently find ourselves.

You are the one that is helping them to steal..I guess that's why you can tell it's 70%

Keep taking side with evil leaders in this country, I pray you life is like Nigeria that never progesses despite all it's wealth, be looking for 70%

Catapault:
My friend will you shut up there.

Where and how did you calculate that 70% of the budget is stolen?

You people just come in here and type nonsense.

The most that is stolen is between 20 and 30 percent, if that.

Anything more than that and we would need international food aid and Red Cross plus UN here.

The NUMBER 1 problem of Nigeria is NOT corruption.

It is that we don’t earn enough as a country.

The oil money is a pittance for our huge population.

Are you Reno, out problem is not corruption, so tell us what the problem is idiot, the little you earn what did you do with it , even if you earn do much they will only increase what would be stolen, can you tell me why 0ver 2trillion was spent on turn around maintenance of our refineries but still we can not refine a liter of PMS, idiot do you know that money would have been enough to build a new refinery that would surpass the existing production capacity of all Three refineries.

And you open your dirty mouth and tell me corruption is not the problem, ok what is the reason why we still don't earn enough?

If you are Reno, then you must be a very big idiot

Will you be willing to go there if you have the opportunity?

Nigeria is a million times better than Iraq and even most of the overhyped countries on earth today. Now Iraq is begging Nigeria to settle well in their country, do you think it has anything to offer Nigerians? Xenophobia is a joke. The rate of racism against blacks in Iraq is dangerous for us because there, they'll kill you and it won't make it to the front of newspapers like in the US or other advanced world. So, forget Iraq, it's a death trap. The next thing you'll hear is 'Iraq is about to take over Nigeria with their Islamic half moon'. If they were good to blacks or other nationals, their country would have been flooded with foreigners but they're very very selfish people who easily attack and kill anyone who goes against their Sharia law by mistake. so, as for me, it's not a good call.

Who told you that, Iraq is a lot more safer than Nigeria, we keep decieving ourselves like Nigeria is better than most of these countries, have you checked the rate of kidnappings, killings, robberies taking place all around the nation.

Presently there are no oil and gas projects in the country because Buhari was looking for oil up North, so where are the jobs for the millions of Nigerians with Oil and Gas skills going to work, UAE is no longer accepting Nigerians.

Yes if an offer comes from Iraq I will take it.
Mind you there are lots of foreigners in Iraq, please go and check, now when you Waka go where you no suppose go you see anyhow. If you are there to work stay within your work environment there's security for you, it's the same in Nigeria, going to work location we normally go with heavy escort, military and mobile police.

So my dear there's no difference.

Reno omokri on x

Reno shut up your mouth, our major problem in Nigeria is corruption, since you have failed to talk about it, let me remind you, because you have been creating so much nuisance of late on social media.

If we can reduce corruption by 40% in the country you will see meaningful development, 70% of our budget is stolen by politicians what do you expect the country to do with 30%.

Please go and look for a job because you are becoming a nuisance.

There are lots of Oil and Gas projects in Iraq, that can take a lot our experienced professional

I really don't understand why it's so difficult to manage this issue, they should allow both Naira notes to co-Exist. In the UAE it's still happening to tomorrow.

Or a better way to manage it any old notes that gets into the bank should not be released into the economy again, banks should only release new notes, with that way all old notes would eventually be mopped up, this is not an issue the government should waste time on, they need to bring down the price of petrol which is more important than this they're fighting over

Is it normal to wake up and experience mouth odour?

I don't like talking to people very early especially when I just wake up bcoz there is this odour when I smell whenever I try to smell my own mouth..

Is it normal or it is something that has to be treated?

If i have brush, I don't have any odour from morning till night except for night to morning sleep..

Go and use cloves you will thank me forever, soak some cloves in water until you have a coke like color.
In the morning you take some and gaggle, look for someone to test if it's still has odour. I need feedback

Soludo is a very sensible and pragmatic person. At least, far more sensible than Peter Obi. He understands the need for everyone to work together for the common good of the people. He’s not a bigot who will declare religious war on others. He’s also doing his best helping the local people to get basic necessities like electricity and portable water. Things Peter Obi denied them for 8 years.

You see the way Hope Uzodinma was re-elected, that’s how Soludo will be popularly re-elected. Hate filled Folks like you who can’t see beyond your nose will be disgraced once again.

Your hatred for Obi will destroy you, when. Did he declare religious war, was Peter Obi the only governor of Anambra state? And did he tell you he neglected them, change your mind set before you destroy yourself because of hatred for one man you can never get to his class

They all should be sincere to themselves and be ready to make sacrifices, if not Tinubu would ensure that the party is dead before 2027, look at what is happening at the party executive with the Secretary position, that's is wrong, you can't leave a position go and contest as governor and come back to the same office, he should have resigned from that position, if he had won the election, the opposition would come after him that he didn't resign before contesting, look at what's happening in plateau state, they should learn to do the right thing and follow the party rules, INEC regulations and the country's constitution if not the party is going into extinction

Only a fool doesn't know that Tinubu inherited a dead economy.

...and only a fool thinks that this economy can be revived overnight.

Inherited a dead economy but still they are spending on things that are not important, why not cut down on expenses, reduce your cabinet, everyone should take a pay cut, then we know they are serious, give Tinubu 20 yrs he still wouldn't do anything, instead he will also print his own money 🤑

I'm sure majority of these migrants are either from terrorists-ridden countries or Africa. You enter a foreign land only to come and pour your anger and frustration which you cannot express to your government in the countries you were coming from, and then you start destroying properties and attacking people in the host country. The police in Dublin should give any immigrant who wants to constitute nuisance a shoot-at-sight treatment. Attacking innocent children who don't even understand what is happening is senseless and devilish.

Lots of migrants from Morocco and Algeria are causing a lot of nusanice in Europe.
