Gov. Lawal Distributes 135 Trucks of Fertilizer to Farmers, Commits to Boosting Agricultural Productivity in Zamfara

Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal flagged off the distribution of 135 trucks of fertilizer to farmers across the state's 14 local government areas.

The distribution was flagged off on Tuesday at the Zamfara State Ministry of Agriculture, where the fertilizers were stored.

A statement by the spokesperson for the Zamfara Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, said 81,000 bags of assorted fertilizers will be distributed free of charge to 40,500 farmers across the 14 local government areas of Zamfara.

The statement added that at the flag-off, Governor Dauda Lawal reiterated his administration's commitment to accelerating agricultural production in Zamfara by assisting farmers in boosting their production. “We will sustain our efforts to address challenges in the sector.”

The governor said, “We are determined to tackle challenges and provide our farmers the necessary support and incentives to realize their full potential and contribute more to the State's socio-economic development.

“A few months ago, I visited all 14 Local Government Areas to launch the distribution of fertilizers and other farming implements to our farmers under the NG-CARES program. Fertiliser is a critical input for crop production as it enhances soil fertility, increases crop yield, and improves produce quality.


“We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that agricultural production is not limited to the rainy season but becomes a year-round activity that engages our farmers. By doing so, we can achieve our target of food sovereignty and increase farmers' incomes.

“Before I conclude, I urge the beneficiaries of this gesture to use these fertilizers appropriately. I also wish to reassure you of our continuous support in providing a conducive environment for agricultural production across the state to enable all our farmers to return to their farmlands without any fears.

“With these remarks, it is my honor and privilege to launch the distribution of 135 trucks of assorted fertilizers to the farmers across the 14 Local Government Areas of our state for the 2024 wet season farming in Zamfara State.”
