Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Oluwatoyin Suarau, who disclosed this in his office yesterday, assured residents that the present administration would continue to ensure adequate production and a fair distribution of the rice across the state.

He added that the product would be made available to the masses at the various accredited centers in the state during the festive period.
