In continuation of his policy of Stomach Infrastructure, Ekiti State
Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has secured a total of 7,200 bags of
fertilizer for distribution free to farmers in the State.
Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka who made this known in a statement issued on
Wednesday, said only genuine farmers in the state would have access to
the fertilizer.
The 7,200 bags of fertilizer donated to the State by the Federal
Government were aimed at increasing food production in the State.
He 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.”
