The Federal Government has said that increased local production of fertiliser remains central to reducing dependence on food imports, lowering production costs and boosting agricultural productivity.
The FG stated this during the inspection of fertiliser production and blending facilities across the country, stressing that local fertiliser production is key to Nigeria’s food security.
The inspection delegation was led by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital Communications, Engagement and New Media Strategy, O’tega Ogra, according to a statement from Ogra’s office on Wednesday.
The exercise took the presidential fact-finding delegation to major fertiliser production and blending plants in Lagos, Kaduna, Rivers, and other states participating in the restructured Presidential Fertiliser Initiative under the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
During the tour from June 18 to June 21, 2026, the delegation assessed production capacity, quality control measures, operational efficiency, and the impact of the FG’s intervention on making quality fertiliser available and affordable to Nigerian farmers.
