The Federal Government has announced a registration process for its rice distribution program, aimed at providing relief to public servants amidst the ongoing food crisis in Nigeria. Under this initiative, 50kg bags of rice will be sold at a subsidized price of N40,000 each to eligible workers.
This move is part of the government’s efforts to cushion the effects of rising food prices on citizens, particularly those in the public sector. The program seeks to support public servants and their families, ensuring they have access to affordable and nutritious food.
To participate in the program, public servants are required to register through a designated portal, providing necessary details and documentation. Successful applicants will be notified and provided with information on how to purchase the subsidized rice.
The Federal Government has assured that the rice distribution initiative will be transparent, efficient, and fair, with measures in place to prevent exploitation and ensure that the benefits reach the intended beneficiaries.
This move is seen as a welcome relief for public servants, who have been facing significant challenges due to the rising cost of living. The government’s initiative demonstrates its commitment to supporting citizens during these difficult times.
“For effective implementation, all interested staff are required to complete a Google form on the OHCSF website, https://www.ohcsf.gov.ng , print, and submit same to the Director, HR, for endorsement.
For more information on the registration process and eligibility criteria, public servants are advised to visit the official government website or contact their respective ministries or agencies.
