Jigawa State Governor, Mallam Umar Namadi has warned against the diversion of fertilizer meant to be sold to farmers at subsidized rates.
The Governor gave the warning on Friday at the inauguration of a fertilizer distribution committee in Government House, Dutse.
He tasked members of the committee to supervise and monitor the sale of the subsidized fertilizer to farmers across the state for the 2023 wet season farming.
The Governor charged members of the committee to put more commitment and dedication to ensure that the commodity reaches the targeted farmers at a subsidized price.
“You have to discharge your responsibilities with justness and truth. Anybody found conniving with any group or individual to divert the commodity will be dealt with.
“We have procured 120,000 bags of NPK fertilizer, which will be distributed among the 43 retail stores across the state and to be sold at N16, 000 per bag” he said.
He said his administration is determined to make available agricultural inputs to the teaming farmers in Jigawa State.
