Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to guard against the hoarding or diversion of subsidised fertiliser being distributed by the state government.
The governor sought the anti-graft agencies’ support 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 Tofa.
Yusuf said the involvement of the anti-graft agencies was aimed at ensuring that the fertiliser reached genuine farmers and eliminating diversion, hoarding and other sharp practices.
