The Federal Government has stopped the planned sale of subsidised rice to civil servants.
It has, therefore, withdrawn the circular in which it directed civil servants interested in subsidised rice to apply.
This was made known in a fresh circular from the Ministry of Special Duty and Inter-Governmental Affairs obtained by our correspondent on Thursday in Abuja.
The circular, dated August 2, 2024, which was signed by the ministry’s Director of Human Resources, Aderonke Jaiyesimi, did not give any reason for the withdrawal of the the initial memo.
No further details are also given to this effect.
