In a renewed effort to secure Kaduna’s food future and uplift rural communities, Governor Uba Sani has launched a massive fertilizer distribution programme benefiting 100,000 smallholder farmers across the state.
The initiative, unveiled at the Government House in Kaduna, includes the free distribution of two bags of fertilizer per farmer under the smallholder category. For commercial farmers, a targeted subsidy scheme will allow them to purchase fertilizer at 40% below market price—a move the government says will stimulate agribusiness growth and create jobs across the agricultural value chain.
