Make fertiliser available for farmers

In an interview with Daily Trust, the minister said henceforth, the ministry would limit its role to monitoring, regulation and supervision.

He added that there was also nothing yet to suggest that state governments would step in to fill the void. The decision by the federal government is surprising because on December 7, 2020, the minister announced that the ministry had registered and developed the database of five million smallholder farmers for easy targeting with the fertiliser subsidy support through the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative (PFI).

For decades, this has been the bane of the agricultural sector in Nigeria. Curiously, the role of fertilizers in crop yields and agricultural productivity are usually underestimated by many. That’s why mineral fertilizers are used to supplement the soil’s nutrient stocks with minerals that can be quickly absorbed and used by crops.
