Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has announced that farmers in the state will purchase fertiliser at a subsidised rate of N28,000 per bag as part of efforts to boost agricultural production.
Alia made the announcement on Thursday during the launch of the 2026 fertiliser and farm inputs sales and distribution exercise in the state.
The governor said his administration would pay the balance of N28,000 on each bag of fertiliser to ease the burden on farmers ahead of the farming season.
“I charge you to discharge your responsibilities with integrity, professionalism, and fairness. Let there be no room for diversion, favouritism, or exploitation.
