The federal government says the national identification number (NIN) is required to buy a 50-kilogram (kg) bag of rice at N40,000.
The federal government says the national identification number is required to buy a 50-kilogram bag of rice at N40,000.20 trucks of rice have been distributed to each state of the federation.“Only those with duly registered National Identification Numbers will be allowed to purchase the rice, which is part of a broader effort to address the prevailing food crises in the country,” Kyari said.
“This initiative is one of the many measures taken by the administration to cushion the impact of rising food costs, which have been exacerbated by factors such as COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine war, and climate change.“While these challenges are global, the federal government remains committed to ensuring food security for all Nigerians.
Kyari said the verification of beneficiaries will be carried out using the NIN and other relevant identification methods to prevent multiple purchases by fraudulent individuals.
