His Special Assistant on Media, Samuel Aruwan who disclosed this in a statement said the governor gave the directive when he paid an unscheduled visit to the fertilizer warehouse of Kaduna State Ministry of Agriculture at Dankande village along Kaduna-Zaria Express Way.
"The governor has directed that all allocation of fertilizer products to traditional rulers, government officials and prominent politicians in the state be stopped with immediate effect. Fertilizer should be sold directly to interested local farmers from designated sales points that are publicly announced and are accessible. The governor made it clear that his administration will not condone injustice and acts of discrimination that disadvantage ordinary citizens. The governor directed the ministry of agriculture to make more fertilizer available for sale in order to avoid the sort of scarcity that can introduce corruption into the distribution process. He said fertilizer procurement should not be made an ordeal for farmers," the statement read.
