The Federal Government has disclosed that the first batch sale of the 50 kilograms (kg) bag of rice for N40,000 will be directed to those in the public service before being made available to other regions of the country.  

The Minister of Agriculture, Senator Abubakar Kyari, who made this announcement during an interview, stated that public servants have an accurate data system that will ensure proper documentation of the sale of the food item, preventing any abuse of the intervention similar to what occurred during the nationwide distribution of rice.

He emphasized that this system including NIN is designed to maintain transparency and accountability, ensuring that the rice reaches those who need it without mismanagement or corruption. 

In addition, Kyari mentioned that the bags of rice will eventually be allocated to the states to ensure fair and equitable distribution across the entire country.
