This development is in line with the directive of Governor Muhammadu Yahaya to ensure that agricultural inputs reach genuine farmers directly at the grassroots, right down to the polling unit level, without weighing them down with transportation or logistical burden.

Trucks have already been transporting the inputs to various Local Government Areas for onward distribution, following the Governor’s recent flag-off of the 2025 wet season farming activities.

Recall that Yahaya recently launched the sale and distribution of 10,000 metric tons of high-quality fertiliser, equivalent to 200,000 bags, at a heavily subsidised rate, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to food security and rural development.

Speaking on the progress of the exercise, the State Commissioner for Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Cooperatives, Barnabas Malle, confirmed that the distribution is proceeding smoothly.
