Kajuru Local Government Secretariat witnessed a major event today as the Executive Chairman, Hon. Dauda Madaki, officially launched the distribution of free fertilizer to farmers for the 2025 farming season. This initiative is part of the Kaduna State Government’s strategic agricultural program under the leadership of Governor Senator Uba Sani, CON.
Speaking at the main store of the Secretariat, Hon. Madaki praised Governor Uba Sani for his dedication to boosting food production and promoting agricultural sustainability.
“This is a timely lifeline for our farmers, and I am confident that Kajuru’s community will make the best use of these inputs to achieve a harvest that can meet both local and state-wide consumption,” he said.
The Chairman cautioned beneficiaries against selling the fertilizers, stressing that they should be applied directly on farms to ensure maximum yields. “These fertilizers are meant to support your farms, not to be sold,” he warned.
A total of 4,000 bags of fertilizer have been allocated to Kajuru LGA, with each farmer receiving two bags. Distribution will be carried out at designated redemption centers in Kajuru, Kasuwan Magani, and Kufana to ensure efficiency and easy access for all beneficiaries.
The distribution aligns with the state’s broader plan to strengthen food security and support rural development.
