Ahead of the Sallah celebration by
Muslim faithful, the Lagos state government will resume sales of LAKE rice at
approved retail outlets across the state from today.
The state’s Commissioner for
Agriculture, Oluwatoyin Susrau, disclosed this at the weekend, while reviewing
modalities for distribution of the product across the State.
He explained that the sale of the
product is part of government’s commitment to ensure that residents scale
through the current economic recession.
While giving the assurances of
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration to do all it could to achieve food
security and create more jobs through the State, Suarau stressed that sales of
the product is auspicious especially with regards to the forthcoming Eid-el-fitr
celebration.
He said the rice which has been
subsidized by State government will be available at different sizes and at
approved outlets.
