The Lagos state government has said it will commence the sales of the long awaited Lake Rice tomorrow.
The Lake Rice is meant to cushion the effect of economic recession.
The sale which was earlier scheduled for December 15 at a cost at N13, 000 per 50 kg has been re-scheduled to commence tomorrow at some specific locations across the state.
It is however said that a bag of rice scheduled for N13,000 will now go for N12,000 following complaints received by the government over the price of the commodity.
The rice will no longer sell in all local governments and local council development areas as earlier announced by the government, but now on the three senatorial districts.
The new locations in the three senatorial districts where the rice will be sold are:
Lagos East: Ikorodu -Odogunyan Farm Service Centre; Epe -Temu Farm Service Centre; Eredo -Noforija Town Hall, Ibeju -Magbon Alade High School and Maryland -SUBEB premises
Lagos West: Agege – LSADA Complex/Farm Service Centre; Ojo -LAISA Office Agric Bus Stop; Muwo-Coconut House; Badagry-Town Farm Service Centre; Marina, Oshodi-Ikeja Grammar School, Bolade.
