The Federal Government of Nigeria has initiated the sale of 50kg bags of rice at a subsidized rate of N40,000 to civil and public servants across the country. This measure is part of the government’s efforts to provide relief amid rising food prices and economic challenges.
The distribution currently targets civil and public servants, aiming to ease the burden of high food costs on government workers. Sales to the general public have not yet commenced, but the government has assured that an announcement will be made soon regarding the availability and pricing for other citizens.

The initiative is seen as a response to the economic strain caused by inflation and the recent removal of fuel subsidies, which have affected the cost of living. By offering rice at a reduced price, the government aims to support its employees and maintain stability in the food supply chain.
Further details about the sale process, distribution points, and timelines for the general public are expected to be released in the coming days.
