President Bola Tinubu’s government has abruptly cancelled the sale of subsidized 50-kilogramme bags of rice to civil servants for N40,000 each.
The withdrawal was announced in a circular on August 2, just a day after the offer was made, and coincides with the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests across the country.
The Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, which made the initial announcement, did not provide any reason for the cancellation.
The move has raised questions about the government’s intentions and its response to the protests, which have called for improved governance and economic relief.
