Ganiyu Quadri, A top Chieftain of All Progressive
Congress (APC), in Lagos State, has reiterated that his
party is doing everything possible to place the agro-
business scheme run by the State government in Kebbi
State on a high end, so that the cost of rice will drop to a
mere N9,000 by December, from the present price of
between N18,500 and N20,000.
Quadri, who is the Chairman of Alimosho Local Government
Area in the state, made this bold declaration while receiving
a delegation of Rotary Club of Akowonjo 9110, led by its
District-Governor, Patrick Ikheloa, and President, Shola
Abidakun, stressing that the APC administration in Lagos
swung into agro-business to ensure food security for its
people.
“By the end of this year, or first quarter next year, things
will change in Lagos. Already, we are into agro-business in
Kebbi State. We have massive land on which we planted
grains, among which is rice, our people’s staple food. And
it is expected that the truckloads of rice will storm Lagos
soon.”
“So, I can assure you that before the end of this year, the
price of a bag of rice, which is N18,000, will drop to
N9,000.”
