On Thursday in Abuja, Abubakar Kyari officially launched the distribution of subsidized milled rice.

He said, “This food intervention can be said to be timely considering the times and challenges we are in as citizens of this great nation.
“This kind gesture was made possible at the expense and directives of President Bola Tinubu, who does not want Nigerians citizens to go to bed hungry; and in his wisdom deemed, it important to initiate this food intervention.”
