Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has said that the state government has procured 7,200 Bags of Fertilizer which will be distributed to farmers as part of the state’s stomach infrastructure policy.
The governor who revealed this information in Ado Ekiti said “The State was able to benefit from the product because of the cordial relationship between the Governor Fayose led government and the federal government.
“The lime fertilizer will improve the intake of major plant nutrients thereby leading to increased productivity.
“Distribution of the lime fertilizer will be flagged off by Governor Fayose very soon to allow farmers have access to the product.
“Farmers in the State should therefore take advantage of the fertilizer so as to enable massive food production and sustenance of the Stomach Infrastructure initiative of the governor.”
Fayose also added that his government is determined to increase agricultural production in the state and make it the centre of food production in the Southwest Region.
