The people were seen fighting and looting the rice putting trader who owns the rice in trouble of financial challenges.
One thing is clear, if they are not hungry they wouldn’t have decided to loot the rice. The palliatives rolled out can never be enough in a country where there is mass poverty.
The government can go a little further to subsidize costs on wheat and sugar so that the prices on bread and flour will be affordable for all Nigerians.
