The Kebbi State Government has expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for supplying 6,000 bags of subsidised rice to the state, to be sold to residents at the rate of N40,000 per 50kg bag.
Hon. Zayyanu Aliero, Commissioner for Special Duties, gave the commendation while flagging off the sales on Thursday in Birnin Kebbi.
He described the intervention as timely and significant, noting that it would help alleviate the current economic hardship being experienced by many households across the state.
According to the commissioner, the Kebbi State Government received 6,000 bags of rice, of which 5,000 are earmarked for sale to state civil servants, while 1,000 bags will be sold to federal civil servants residing in the state.
“The Kebbi State Government is deeply grateful to the Federal Government for its continuous efforts in addressing the economic challenges facing Nigerians,” Aliero said.
He urged beneficiaries to make good use of the opportunity and ensure the rice serves the intended purpose of supporting their families.
