They also urged the president to preserve the agricultural transformation legacy of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, by enhancing farmers’ access to fertilisers, among others.
They urged the president to sustain the importation of fertiliser raw materials until local production capacity is fully reliable to meet national demand.
The farmers expressed dismay that the price of the commodity had risen by over 990.90 per cent to currently N60,000 from N5,500 during the government’s last intervention in fertiliser.
Bamai said, “We express deep concern about the immediate effects on Nigerian farmers, particularly smallholder and youth farmers.
Rising input costs, distribution gaps, and uncertainty in fertiliser supply threaten to undermine the gains made over the past eight years.
