The sale, earlier scheduled for December 15 at a cost at N13, 000 per 50 kg has been re-scheduled to commence tomorrow at some specific locations across the state.
It was however gathered the late arrival of the rice was due to unexpected delay in production.
However, a state official who preferred anonymity, told Vanguard that the price of the 50 kilogram bag of the rice has been reduced to N12, 000, against the earlier speculated N13, 000.

*Some people will buy at this rate and resell higher...they should make sure each person buys only one bag.
I pray there won't be stampede.
ReplyDeleteNo way,it can never get to the people who really need it.
DeleteTop ogas will just stock it into their office to be resold later.
Naija?
Any person with good intentions always have bad people to twart the effort.
Shey dem don check sey no be plastic rice?
DeleteAnd I hope it is not the plastic rice
ReplyDeleteThe same thought I had when I saw production. This world sef
DeleteGbam @ Stella's comment trust Nigerian's with their greed.
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is what many will do Stella. Nigerians like to wicked themselves ( many ) Please try to be kind to yourselves dear Nigerians, don't buy and keep somewhere so you can sell high later, just buy one or 2 and allow others buy too. Don't be greedy!

ReplyDeleteNice one, tho d crowd will be much.
ReplyDeletePlease there should be proper organisation to avoid stampede please. The entry points should be different from exit points because there definitely will be overcrowding. Proper management will ensure the joy associated with the cheaper price will not turn to sorrow fir any one.
ReplyDeleteGood initiative!!! God bless Gov.Ambode for this
Other state govs. Please take note and try something for us to benefit too.
Guess amboe forgot my eti-osa peeps
ReplyDeleteHmm... With the rate of corruption in this country, the person in charge of distribution will first hoard like 50 bags for reselling at higher rate. The stress to buy it might just be too much in the long run.
ReplyDeletePeople will buy and resell. Some of the officials will even make it difficult for people to buy cos they may have marketers already on standby.
ReplyDeleteStampede go full ooo. Lagos population is over 20 million self
ReplyDeleteI pray there won't be ooo. Victoria, u are right.
ReplyDeleteMy tot too. If dey can make each person buy max of 2, den it can go round.
ReplyDeleteStella, you just spoke my mind
ReplyDeleteWay to go sir...others should emulate this governor now..
ReplyDeleteNice one
ReplyDeleteThey should not sell more than one bag or max 2 per person
ReplyDeleteGovernor Fayose is giving out for free
ReplyDeleteHmm this is a good move, but trust my beloved country people with greed
ReplyDeleteWhy not make it, mobile rice! Distribute in smaller truck, place trucks in every street, drive from house to house with camera and a journalist to monitor! Using social media to detect any angry or unsatisfied client! Good job to Gov Ambode!
ReplyDeleteIs it the refined rice or our own local rice
