The Lagos State Government on Friday said it could not commence the sale
of its Lake Rice on December 15 as earlier planned to ensure that plots
to hijack the project was averted.
The Special Adviser on
Food Security to Governor Akinwumi Ambode, Mr. Sanni Okanlawan, said
that the rice would now be on sale from next week
The government
had planned to sell the rice at N13,000 per 50kg bag at the 57 Local
Government and Local Council Development area headquarters from Dec. 15.
Okanlawon
said the government was installing mechanisms for Lagosians to
celebrate the best Yuletide without hiccups posed by money bags.
He
said, “We are working out the modalities to make sure that what the
government intends to sell at N13,000 was not hijacked and sold to
Lagosians at N15,000, that is what we do not want.
“From all indications, hopefully, by next week Lake Rice will be out, so, we want everything to be in place before it is out.”
