Speaking at the meeting of the committee in Bauchi, the emir recalled that the CBN through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has donated the 70 trucks of fertiliser to Bauchi farmers as part of efforts to boost farming activities in the state.
He said the committee will take the commodity to farmers in all the polling units in the 20 local government areas of the state, adding that communities, labour unions, religious organisations, women group, youth groups and many bodies will be part of the beneficiaries.
He commended Governor Bala Mohammed and the federal government for the gesture which he said would go a long way in supporting farmers at the grassroots and appealed to the beneficiaries to make the best use of the fertilizer to raise the level of agricultural production and ensure food security in the state since the state is blessed with abundant land, human and natural resources which if properly harness and utilised will help towards the economic development of the state.
