Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has officially flagged off the 2026 wet season sales and distribution of fertilizer and other agricultural inputs to farmers across the state as part of efforts to boost food production and strengthen agricultural productivity.
Under the programme, the state government has procured 12,000 metric tons of NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer, equivalent to about 240,000 bags, which will be sold to farmers at a highly subsidised rate of N32,000 per 50kg bag, representing a 50 percent discount on the prevailing market price.
Speaking during the flag-off ceremony Tuesday, Governor Inuwa Yahaya described the timely procurement and distribution of fertilizer as a clear demonstration of his administration’s commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector and sustaining Gombe State’s position as one of Nigeria’s leading agricultural hubs.
