In the bid to cushion the country’s economic challenges, the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has decided to commence the sale of rice at a 50% discount to residents.
Truetells Nigeria reports that Abiodun made this known during the Special Iftar (breaking of fast) organised for the League of Imams and Alfas in the state at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta.
Governor Abiodun noted that the sale of the commodity would begin with public servants across the board, and residents of the state would also buy it at half the price.
Abiodun added that his administration aspires to return the purchasing power of public servants lost due to inflation.
