President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday ordered Ministries, Departments, Agencies and security agencies to work for the success of his administration’s fertiliser initiative.
Buhari gave the directives at the State House, Abuja, on Friday during a meeting with members of the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative.
In his speech, the president urged all in attendance to ensure fertiliser is readily available.
“…therefore, the Ministry of Finance and NSIA should immediately engage the Governors Forum to conclude their orders”, he said.
“The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should conclude the planning for all Government programs for the 2018 season to ensure synergy.
“The CBN working with the commercial banks should ensure affordable capital is available to the farmers and agro dealers.
“The NSA and the security agencies should be ready to allow and protect the movement of all agricultural goods. Specifically, issues relating to end user certificates must be prioritised.
“The NPA should provide all the necessary support required to expedite the offloading and evacuation of the imported materials.
“And finally, the NSIA and FEPSAN, under the able leadership of the Governor of Jigawa, must ensure quality and affordable fertiliser is available to farmers at the right time.”
