EROMOSELE EBHOMELE

The Ekiti State government announced on Wednesday that the state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has secured a total of 7,200 bags of fertilizer from the Federal Government for distribution free to farmers in the state.

Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, who made this known in a statement, said only genuine farmers in the state would have access to the fertilizer.

The 7,200 bags of fertilizer donated to the state by the Federal Government are aimed at increasing food production in the state, according to the statement.

“The state was able to benefit from the product because of the cordial relationship between the Governor Fayose-led government and the Federal Government.

“The lime fertilizer will improve the intake of major plant nutrients thereby leading to increased productivity.

“Distribution of the lime fertilizer will be flagged off by Governor Fayose very soon to allow farmers have access to the product.

“Farmers in the State should therefore take advantage of the fertilizer so as to enable massive food production and sustenance of the Stomach Infrastructure initiative of the governor,” the statement said.
