X Influencer, Daniel Regha, has lamented the cost of local rice in the market.
He aired his displeasure in a tweet on Monday.
Regha stated that he had gone to the market to purchase a painter of Nigerian local rice, but discovered that it is more expensive than foreign rice.
He maintained that with this trend, Nigerians will not want to patronize home based products.
He stated,
"I went to the market today, a painter of Nigerian rice is more expensive than foreign/imported rice; The price difference is significant. Can u imagine? And govt expects people to buy homegrown foodstuffs."
