Helinues I know you will be on this thread.. How's the hunger treating you ?

psucc:
Why regulate a deregulated market. They supposed allow the naira find it's level with dollar by March, 2024, we would have to be talking about N3000/$

gaby:
They came up with a policy to allow the dollar to float and fly like a BAT and now pegging it in one corner.

What is the meaning of confusion again?

Nigerians don't even understand what is going on yet, and what is to come.

By June and upwards, everybody go understand.

The 10k rice no go dey again by then.

My guy, importing things especially food products into Nigeria is a very difficult process. Then you still have to pay bribe to customs. Then after all that hard work, they tell you that your goods are contraband or illegal to import and they seize it.

Kwaramustgoodag:
BDC has been existing for years, so why is it now that they are dangerous to dollars? If u can't get dollars thru bdc, and banks don't sell dollars to u, what will u do.

EreluRoz:
I love that line, she's throwing shade at her husband's successor Ayedatiwa. You are not a real African man if you don't beat your wife and go hard on her all the time. The moment you are loving and caring then get ready to be mocked and call silly names by these set of men

JASONjnr:
Are you saying that APC gave birth to democracy?

Because Lagos was built during the military era and was one time the capital of Nigeria and there was little or no politicians then.

michlins:
yes. Government can give them waivers on import duty and stuff. We're at desperate times and even if we decide to go on massive agriculture drive, it will take at least six months for the first product to hit the market.

Meanwhile we need to get foods in the market within the next three months

The Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has stated that he would request the federal government through the Ministry of Agriculture to allow importation of rice paddy for the Imota rice mill to process.

The Governor stated this during a media chat while lamenting the reason for the non-functioning of the Imota rice mill to tackle the skyrocketing food inflation in the state, especially rice.

According to the Governor,

“The challenge that we have is feedstock- that is paddies. We have two aggregators- AFEX and Lagos commodity exchange that we have committed to look for paddy for us”

“One of the things that has happened is that paddy is not easily growable in the Southern part of the country. We have farmland in Ogun, Osun and Oyo states but it cannot meet up with the size and capacity of the mill.

“One of the things that we realized is that up north, there are a few issues around paddy. So for our mill, we are going to be having a conversation with the Minister for Transport and with the federal government. If they can permit us to do a one-off import of paddy for about two vessels. That can take us about 8 to 9 months production of close to 2 million bags of 50kg”

“If we have that exemption, we can use that to encourage the rice farmers to go back to their farms”
Furthermore, on the rice mill, the Governor stated that the state is expecting some paddies from the north through active collaboration with state Governors in that part of the country.


25% discount Sunday market
The Governor as a measure of tackling the food inflation across the state promised to begin a 25% discount on Sunday markets across 48 locations in the state.


The Governor noted beneficiaries of the project will be those spending N25,000 and below on food items who would be given a rebate immediately after purchase.

He recalled that the initiative was first developed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

What you should know
The Imota rice mill is a 2.8 million 50kg bag capacity rice mill commissioned by President Buhari in January 2023 but has failed to produce to capacity owing to lack of paddies and other issues. The mill was built at an estimated cost of N20 billion.

Air Peace has said it will begin direct flight operations to London on March 30, 2024, with the inaugural flight scheduled for 12:10 am.

The announcement was made during a prelaunch forum organised by the airline to engage travel agencies and partners involved in the upcoming London flight operations.

The Chief Operating Officer of the airline, Oluwatoyin Olajide, assured stakeholders that the London operations would be carried out daily with Boeing 777 aircraft and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Olajide said, “The service will be operated with our Boeing 777 aircraft and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, one of the most modern and efficient aircraft in the skies. We will be launching with special promo fares and attractive plans for agents.

“Operating daily, this service will also offer several other benefits that give Air Peace an edge over the competition. It’s a direct flight without stopovers and offers unbeatable fares. The specifics of these offers and other unique selling points will be presented as this engagement progresses.”

“We want you to know that Air Peace’s operational expansion and milestones are driven by our ambition to continually connect cities and ease the burden of air travel while fostering economic prosperity across nations.”

The Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, disclosed that all airline agents would receive a unified commission regardless of their size and status.

Onyema said, “What we want from you is to tell us how you want to make it happen. I have told them (the management) that we are going to have a unified commission. Everybody, whether small or large, will have the same commission. And please, when we are going wrong, feel free to advise us.”


The airline revealed that it had received an approval letter from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Aviation as an airline that could fly to New York in the United States.

Commending the Air Peace chairman, National President of the Nigeria Association of Tour Operators, Ime Udo, appreciated the airline for its passion for making Nigeria first in all the company’s dealings.

Udo said, “I can see the passion you have for Nigeria, and it was that passion that drove you to do everything you have done for this country. We have embraced the airline as ours.”

The President of the National Association of Travel Agencies, Susan Akporiaye, assured the airline that her members throughout the country would support its new operations.

“This man is a hero in this country. Our members will support you. I want to thank you for this engagement. There was something he said to me that he forgot to mention. He said they were able to get to a terminal that was very close to the train.

“This means he is thinking about Nigerians. One of my very trusted team members had a discussion about these flight operations to London. NANTA has come up with a slogan for you, and I want to see how you can find a way to put that slogan in your London Fliers. We came up with air peace; our own.”

The PUNCH learned that the terminal for Air Peace flight operations to London is Southern Terminal, Gatwick Airport.

In November, Air Peace revealed it had obtained the Foreign Carrier Operator Permit and Third Country Operator Permit to operate flights to Europe and the United Kingdom.
