Adebule, who said that the gesture was from the Federal Government, added that the free distribution of the fertilisers was part of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to boosting food production in the country.
The project, she said, would help to ease economic challenges.
She, therefore, urged the beneficiaries to put the fertilisers into proper use.
Secretary-General of the Conference of 57 Local Councils and Local Council Development Areas and Chairman of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, Razaq Ajala, said that the Federal Government had decided to support the farmers from all the six geo-political zones to boost harvest.
Ajala expressed optimism that the gesture would crash food prices.
Also, Vice Chairman, All Farmers’ Association of Nigeria, Lagos chapter, Shakiru Agbayewa, lauded the Federal Government for the food security initiative and promised good use of the fertilisers by the farmers.
