President Tinubu has approved the immediate release of 102,000 metric tonnes of rice and maize from the National Food Reserves in order to enhance the availability of food in the country.
The president’s directive comes days after a series of protests in some states against the high cost of food items.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this in a chat with journalists at the State House following a meeting of the Special Presidential Committee on Emergency Food Intervention on Thursday.
Idris also noted that the government has suggested importing any deficiencies that may arise after the distribution of the food items.
The minister indicated that the government will take suitable actions against individuals stockpiling food.
He emphasized that during emergencies, it is necessary to implement immediate actions to guarantee the availability to Nigerians.
