The Lagos State government has reassured residents of the availability of ‘LAKE Rice’ at designated outlets.
Commissioner for Agriculture Toyin Suarau said the government was working to ensure availability of the product in outlets and centres.
He assured that as from today all designated retail outlets and centres will have enough supply of the product to meet growing residents’ demands.
Defending government’s resolve to distribute and retail the product on senatorial district basis using designated outlets, the commissioner said this was to ensure fair distribution, availability and to guard against diversion.
“The product which is packaged in 50kg, 25kg and 10kg bags is being offered for sale at N12,000, N6,000 and N2,500,” Suarau noted.
He added that residents who reside within Lagos Central Senatorial District can get the product at Agric Area Office, Ajah; Lagos Island at LATMA Works yard, Lagos Island; Ajegunle at Alakoto Senior High School, Tolu; Surulere at Teslim Balogun Stadium; and Yaba at Mobolaji Johnson Sports Centre, Rowe Park.
In Lagos East, the product will be available at Odogunyan Farm Service Centre, Ikorodu; Temu Farm Service Centre, Epe; Noforija Town Hall, Eredo; Magbon Alade School, Ibeju Lekki; and State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) premises, Maryland.
In Lagos West Senatorial District, Lagos State Agricultural Development Authority (LSADA)/Farm Service Centre, Oko-Oba, Agege; Lagos Agricultural Inputs Supply Authority (LAISA), Ojo; Farm Service Centre, Marina-Badagry; and Ikeja Grammar School, Bolade, Oshodi are the dedicated sales outlets.
