The Federal Government says only public servants with duly registered National Identification Numbers, NIN, will be allowed to purchase bag of rice at N40,000 The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari made this known while flagging off the sale of 30,000 metric tonnes of milled rice, adding that the move was to curtail racketeering.
