Babachir Lawal Accuses Tinubu’s Government of Importing Expired Rice, Maize

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, has leveled serious accusations against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, claiming it is deliberately importing expired rice and maize into Nigeria.

Speaking in an interview aired on Trust TV on Sunday, Lawal expressed deep concern over the state of the nation, arguing that the current government has failed to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians. He criticized what he described as the administration’s lack of direction and its inability to address pressing economic challenges.

According to Lawal, the alleged importation of expired food products reflects a disturbing disregard for the well-being of citizens, particularly the poor who are most affected by the ongoing food crisis. His comments have sparked renewed debate about the government’s food policies and its response to growing inflation and hunger across the country.
