Lagos rolls out Lake Rice Wednesday at N12,000 per bag

The long awaited Lake Rice of the Lagos State Government will be rolled out on Wednesday in the three senatorial districts of the state at a cost of N12,000 per 50 kg bag.

The Lake Rice is meant to cushion the effect of economic recession.

Top government sources confirmed that the price of the 50 kilogramme rice had been reduce to N12, 000, following complaints received by the government over the price of the commodity.
