50kg bag of rice to be sold for 40,000 naria in Nigeria to halt protest

[Augusta]

The federal government of Nigeria yesterday Monday, July 29, revealed that it has set up centres across the country where 50kg bags of rice would be sold for N40,000 each.

This was stated by Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, by briefing correspondents on the outcome of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting that was presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


This is one of the initiatives provided by the Tinubu administration to avert the planned nationwide protest against the high cost of living in the country

Nah the youths will not be stirred by that deal. But if the price remains until when then perhaps the protesters will be consoled.

 

[Augusta]

I don't think this alone will solve anything. There's high insecurity, inflation and lack of resources. They might still go on with the protest

 

[eLdavis]

Lol they say they have centers across the country, but has anyone actually seen or bought from these centers?

 

[Starmix]

Your government there feels afraid for the fate of the protesters. The authorities will never be afraid to kill young people in case they will create chaos and damage.

To us Indians it still sounds costly. In India 50kg rice would cost less than Rs.5000

Yes it is still costly for an average family here. How many families would be able to afford this at this economy hardship period

Yes, it's becoming difficult for the average person to even eat three square meals a day.

Mostly higher official just try to save their face. They mainly concern with their salaries and facilities. They hardly care for you or me. They increase prices of 100 items and lower the prices of 5 things.

 

[Augusta]

That's right the rice might even only gets to their families. We are still yet to see the rice in my region

Has the protest ended already in a peaceful way? Hoping those families whose children were shot during the protest can move on.
