Kano State Governor, Kabir Yusuf has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the Federal Government donated 70 trucks of fertilizers to support farmers in the state.
According to a statement issued by his Director- General, Media and Publicity, Malam Sunusi Bature, in Kano on Friday, Bature quoted Yusuf as expressing gratitude on behalf of the government and people of Kano state.
“This donation aligns with the state’s commitment to agricultural transformation, ensuring accessibility and affordability of high-quality agricultural inputs to enhance crop production,” he said.
The governor said he had earlier directed the state Agricultural Supply Company (KASCO) to begin large-scale fertilizer production for the 2024 rainy season, aiming to support smallholder farmers.
Kano, a leading crop-producing state, is well-suited for cultivating staple crops like rice, maize, soybeans, and others.
