Description: Many Nigerians are sceptical about the government's distribution of rice at N40,000, arguing it primarily targets public servants rather than the general public. They express frustration, stating that many citizens will not benefit from this distribution, and even if they did, the price is unaffordable for most. This has led to concerns that the distribution may not truly reach those who need it most, leaving vulnerable populations without the intended support.
