Gov Sani Distributes 400 Trucks Of Fertilizer To 100,000 Kaduna Farmers

Kaduna State governor, Senator Uba Sani has distributed 400 trucks of fertilizer to 100,000 smallholder farmers across the state.

Governor Sani who disclosed this during the distribution of the fertilizer ceremony in Kaduna at the weekend, said each beneficiary will receive two bags of fertilizer free of charge.

”Kaduna State remains the only state where smallholder farmers consistently receive fertilizer and other critical inputs at no cost. We are proud to maintain this farmer-first policy, particularly for our most vulnerable and underserved communities.

“For our commercial farmers, who play a pivotal role in large-scale production and agribusiness, we are providing access to 10 bags of fertilizer per farmer at a 40% subsidized rate of N30,000 per bag. This is to lower their production cost, support job creation, and stabilise commodity prices in the open market,” Governor Sani said.

In order to reduce risk and increase resilience, the Govenor said the state government was also enrolling all 100,000 smallholder beneficiaries into a crop risk insurance scheme.

He stressed that this intervention protects farmers against losses from pests, diseases, and adverse weather linked to climate change.
