Governor Abiodun of Ogun State has begun the sale of subsidised rice in the state on Thursday, announcing that his administration will soon begin implementing the sale of other subsidised consumables across the state’s twenty local government areas.
Governor Dapo Abiodun stated that implementing the plan across the state will expand the initiative’s reach and that food products like as garri, rice, and beans would be offered at heavily subsidized rates.
The Governor made this known at the formal flag-off ceremony of the Federal Government’s sale of rice at discounted prices to state citizens, which took place at the Arcade Ground of the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
He said:
“We will soon be implementing our own version of this scheme from each local government, meaning we will implement this across the twenty local government areas of the state to deepen the reach into our grassroots.
“We will be selling food items like garri, rice, and beans at heavily subsidised prices.”
Governor Abiodun congratulated the state’s Head of Service and his team on a job well done, noting that both the federal and state governments believe that strategic thinking, guided by the principles of inclusiveness, transparency, fairness, and accountability, is the key to sustainable development.
