FULL LIST: Lagos announces locations for discounted food marketsThe Lagos government has announced locations for discounted
food markets in the state.
On February 22, the Lagos state government announced a
series of interventions to ameliorate the prevailing economic hardship on
residents.
In a statement on Friday, Gbenga
Omotoso, commissioner for information and strategy, said Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state, directed that the ‘Ounje Eko’ food markets
should commence discounted sale of food items across the five divisions of
Lagos effective from Sunday.
The commissioner said the food
items — rice, beans, garri, bread, eggs, tomatoes, pepper, among others — will
be sold at 25 percent discount to residents.
Omotoso said measures have been
put in place to prevent unethical practices in the sale of the food items.
“In order to prevent sharp
practices and ensure the foodstuff reaches a large number of Lagosians, a
voucher system will be introduced as the pilot scheme kicks off,” the
commissioner said.
“Independent payment solution
providers and food vendors have been identified and carefully selected to
operate the process. They will also provide real-time data on the exercise for
monitoring.
“For the purpose of transparency, prices of
the items have also been listed.”
The commissioner said a 5kg bag
of rice will be sold at N5,325, with 1kg selling for N1,065.
Similarly, a 5kg bag of beans
will be sold at N6,225, while 1kg will cost N1,245.
He said prices of other staples
will also be made available through various media outlets.
Omotoso said the markets will be
open at 27 locations in Ikeja, six in Lagos Island, nine in Ikorodu, five in
Epe, and 10 in Badagry divisions.
