FILE: Kano State Governor, Yusuf Abba
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to monitor the distribution of subsidised fertiliser across the state to ensure transparency and prevent diversion.
The governor stated this on Thursday while flagging off the distribution of 150 truckloads of subsidised fertiliser to farmers across the 44 local government areas of the state.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Yusuf said the involvement of the anti-graft agencies was aimed at ensuring that the fertiliser reached genuine farmers while eliminating diversion, hoarding and other sharp practices.
