Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has disclosed that his administration began distributing 100,000 bags of fertilisers to farmers to boost dry-season farming.
Governor Sani, who made this known during the launching of the dry season agricultural empowerment program on Sunday in Kaduna, said the initiative was designed to ensure that farmers produce food all year round.
He further stated that his government allocated 10% of the 2025 Budget to the agricultural sector, the Malabo benchmark set by African Heads of State and Governments in Equatorial Guinea in June 2014.
The governor added that his administration is also providing high-quality seeds and agrochemicals to improve productivity across the state.
Governor Sani maintained that the government addresses the herder-farmer conflict by investing in water infrastructure, rehabilitating grazing reserves, and strengthening community dialogue mechanisms to foster peaceful coexistence.
In his goodwill message, the Minister of State of Agriculture, Sen. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, noted that by increasing his budgetary allocation to the agricultural sector, the Governor is ‘’putting his money where his mouth is.’’
