Honourable Abd Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun Were, the Member of the House of Representatives for Atisbo, Saki East, and Saki West Federal Constituency, has facilitated the distribution of more than 700 bags of fertilizer to farmers in his constituency.
This initiative has been instrumental in empowering farmers across the country, and the recent intervention in Hon. Were’s constituency underscores the commitment to improving local agricultural practices and supporting rural economies.
Honourable Were’s efforts are particularly timely, given the current challenges faced by farmers in the region, including fluctuating weather patterns and rising production costs.
The 700 bags of fertilizer distributed under this program are expected to significantly enhance soil fertility and crop yields, providing a much-needed boost to the agricultural sector in Atisbo, Saki East, and Saki West.
During the distribution event, Honourable Tajudeen Abisodun Were represented by Alhaji Thabit Olofa emphasized the importance of supporting local farmers and improving agricultural practices.
He stated, “Our farmers are the backbone of our economy, and it is crucial that we provide them with the necessary tools and resources to succeed. This fertilizer distribution is a step towards achieving greater agricultural productivity and ensuring food security in our region.”
The fertilizer distribution was well-received by local farmers, many of whom expressed their gratitude for the support. Farmers noted that access to high-quality fertilizer would help them increase their yields and improve the quality of their produce, which is essential for sustaining their livelihoods and contributing to the local economy.
The Program has been widely praised for its role in transforming agriculture in Nigeria. By facilitating access to financial resources and essential inputs like fertilizers, the program has empowered countless farmers and contributed to the nation’s goal of agricultural self-sufficiency.
Honourable Were’s intervention reflects a broader commitment to addressing the needs of the agricultural community and fostering sustainable development in the region.
The distribution of fertilizers is expected to have a lasting impact, enhancing productivity and supporting the livelihoods of many families in Atisbo, Saki East, and Saki West.
As the growing season progresses, the positive effects of this initiative will likely become more apparent, showcasing the benefits of collaborative efforts between government representatives, financial institutions, and local communities in advancing agricultural development and economic growth.
