Deputy Senate President Distributes Fertiliser To Farmers In Kano State
By Salihu Ali, Kano
Nigeria’s Deputy President Senator Barau Jibrin, has flagged off the distribution of 69 trucks of fertiliser to farmers across the 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State.
The trucks contained about 41, 400 bags of assorted fertilizer.
Flagging off the distribution at Danbatta and Makoda Local Government, Senator Barau represented by his Chief of Staff, Professor Muhammad Abdallahi, handed over 2,804 bags and 1,910 bags to the farmers.
He urged the farmers to use the fertiliser judiciously to enhance their farming and boost yields.
Senator Barau noted that, the fertiliser distribution is one of the many interventions of Senator Barau in Kano North and the state in general “which cut across all sectors of human development.”
“In the name of Allah, I flag off the distribution of fertiliser on behalf of the Deputy President of the Senate. This exercise will continue until we distribute 41,400 bags of fertiliser across the 44 LGAs of Kano state,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the people of Danbatta local government, Alhaji Dan Bayero commended the Deputy President of the Senate for the gesture, describing him as the people’s senator.
“We are lucky to have him; he is a leader who caters for the needs of his people. He has nothing at heart but the people of Kano North and Kano State. We wish him all the best.”
One of the beneficiaries in Makoda local government, Tijjani Yakubu Salisu, thanked the Deputy President of the Senate, saying the fertilizer will help to improve produce during harvest.
