At a distribution event held in Lokoja on Sunday, Chairman of Lokoja LGA, Comrade Abdullahi Adamu, who represented Aguye, underscored the significance of the initiative. He highlighted that the fertilisers were aimed at supporting farmers who face financial constraints in purchasing agricultural inputs to boost their crop yields.

Through Adamu, Aguye stated, “Today, I commence the distribution of one trailer load of NPK fertiliser to farmers in my constituency. Each of the two Local Government Areas under my Constituency will receive three hundred bags of fertilisers. Additionally, approximately 160 cartons of herbicides and insecticides will also be distributed.”

He called for collective efforts to alleviate the burden on farmers, noting the high cost of fertilisers and its impact on food production in the state. Aguye urged residents to maintain peace to ensure farmers operate without obstacles.

In his remarks, Hon. Shehu Tijjani Ebaiya, representing Lokoja 1 State Constituency, praised Aguye’s initiative, affirming its alignment with government efforts to address societal challenges. He urged other stakeholders to emulate Aguye’s commitment to development.

Ebaiya emphasized the importance of ensuring that distributed agricultural inputs reach intended beneficiaries to optimize agricultural productivity. He advised farmers to utilize the fertilisers for personal benefit rather than selling them, promoting food sufficiency and improved livelihoods within the constituency.
