The Sokoto State Government has issued a stern warning against the diversion, hoarding, or resale of fertiliser intended for farmers as it continues its distribution of free agricultural inputs. During a recent event in Kebbe Local Government Area, six trucks delivered 3,600 bags of fertiliser to support farmers ahead of the 2026 wet season. Retired Colonel Garba Moyi Isa, Chairman of the Fertiliser Distribution Committee, emphasized that the fertiliser is provided free of charge and urged community leaders to monitor the distribution process. Each of the 124 polling units in Kebbe will receive a specific allocation to ensure fair distribution among genuine farmers. Local officials, including Kebbe's Chairman Hon. Musa Garba Kuchi, reiterated that the fertiliser is strictly for farmers and warned against middlemen exploiting the situation. The initiative aims to enhance food production and improve the livelihoods of farmers in the region.
