As the Christmas celebration draws close, the Lagos state government has commenced the sales of the much awaited Lake Rice.

The sale, earlier scheduled for December 15 at a cost at N13, 000 per 50 kg has been re-scheduled to commence today at some specific locations across the state.

It was however gathered the late arrival of the rice was due to unexpected delay in production.

The new sales points are said to super cede the previous ones earlier announced by the Special Adviser to the state Governor on Food Security, Mr. Sanni Okanlawan, who said the commodity will be made available at the 20 Local Government Areas, and 37 Local Council Development Areas.
