To cushion the effect of hardship faced by Nigerians due to economic recession, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is to support vulnerable populations across the country with 42,000 metric tonnes of assorted food commodities.

A statement by the special adviser Information to the President, Bayo Onanuga, said Nigerians will not need to pay for the grain bags, as they are free, attributed the delay in bagging the grains as the bags were freshly ordered by the government.

“The grains in seven locations of strategic reserve are now being bagged for onward delivery to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). This would be complemented by the 60,000 metric tonnes of milled rice to be purchased by the government from mega rice millers,” the statement added.
