Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, says the Ministry will this week commence the distribution of 42,000 metric tons of grains across the 36 states of the federation, as approved by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Kyari said the Ministry is working with the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and the Department of State Service, DSS, to ensure the grains get to the right people in the right packages and quantities.<\/p>\n

He made this known in a post on his X handle on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, 58,500 metric tons of milled rice from mega rice millers will also be released into the market for stabilization.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these trying times, I extend my sincere compassion to those affected by the hardships in the country. I understand the gravity of the situation, especially with the unfortunate event of foodstuff warehouses looting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmidst these challenges, I want to assure you that our commitment to your well-being remains resolute. We shall commence the distribution of 42,000 metric tons of grains, as approved by Mr. President, across the 36 states of the federation as one of the programs to be rolled-out this week.<\/p>\n
