Lagos State Government has said it would resume the sale of LAKE Rice at approved retail outlets across the state from Monday, ahead of the Eid-el-fitr celebration.

Commissioner for Agriculture Oluwatoyin Suarau said this on Sunday while reviewing the modalities for the distribution of the rice.

Suarau said it would be part of the state government’s commitment to ensure food security and help residents sail through the current economic recession.

According to him, the rice which has been subsidised to ensure affordability, is fresh and safe for consumption.

”The selling of the rice is auspicious, especially, with regard to the forthcoming Eid-el-fitr.

”The ministry will ensure a fair distribution of the rice across the state and ensure that the product is available during the festive period.
