The gubernatorial candidate who was represented during the distribution by his deputy Gubernatorial Candidate Alhaji Babandi Ibrahim Gumel said, the gesture is to support Jigawa farmers to have bumper harvest.
“Looking at how the price of fertilizer is too high and government didn’t provide any support to farmers, we realize that it is necessary for us to help our farmers to feed the nation,” Lamido said.
