The Kebbi State Governor and Chairman, Presidential Task Force on Rice and Wheat Production, Senator Atiku Bagudu has said frantic efforts were being made by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to ensure that rice, the nation’s staple food is available in abundance and affordable for all Nigerians.
Bagudu gave the assurance in an interview with Journalists after a stakeholders’ meeting with the Rice Distributors Association of Nigeria and the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria in Lagos.
According to Bagudu, from the contributions of all the stakeholders, it is apparent that what Nigerians want was actually not about making subsidy available on rice production but making it affordable and accessible such that Nigerian produced rice can be as competitive as those of the imported ones into the country.
“The mandate given to this task force which is under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is to ensure Nigeria has self-sufficiency in rice and wheat production.

Bro God bless you. I was in the market last week and I almost shed tears. Here in Abuja, egusi is now #1000 module and formerly #350 and beans now #700 and formerly #300. Thunder will surely kill all Buhari asslickers. Insha Allah
