The lawmaker representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency, Hon Mansur Manu Soro has distributed 2,565 bags of 50kg fertilizer and 300 spraying machines to dry season farmers in his constituency.
Speaking yesterday when he visited Bula irrigation farming fields in Gabarin, Darazo local government area, he urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the inputs to increase food output in his constituency and Bauchi State in general.
