While flagging off the initiative, Abiodun revealed that the government would distribute 300,000 10kg bags of rice to cushion the effects of subsidy removal to the citizens of Ogun State.
Abiodun disclosed that the bags of rice will be distributed through the 4,500 polling units in Ogun State and accordingly there would be no room for diversion or hoarding of the palliatives by anybody.
