Senator Mohammed Sani Musa (313) has distributed 4,050 bags of fertiliser to farmers in his constituency in a move to boost food production.
The senator flagged off distribution for the 2024 farming season across nine local government areas of Niger East Senatorial District (Zone B) yesterday at Legbo Kutigi international conference centre in Minna.
Represented by his political associate and Niger assembly deputy speaker, Afinike Eunice Dauda, the senator said the fertilizer comprised 1,000 urea and 3,050 NPK bags.
He said he would be fair in the distribution, adding that the process would not be on party affiliation and any form of sentiment.
He said they would ensure that every eligible farmer benefits through their various coordinators from the council to the local government committee headed by the council chairman.
The senator said each local government area would be allocated 450 bags consisting of urea and NPK.
Special adviser political to the state governor, Mohammed Nma Kolo, said it was in fulfillment of the APC campaign promise and assured of more dividends of democracy to the people.
