El-Rufai bans allocation of fertilizer to politicians, traditional rulers
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has banned the allocation of fertilizers to politicians, traditional rulers and other elites in the state.
Mr governor who made this order in a statement on Saturday through his spokesman, Samuel Aruwan also directed that henceforth fertilizer stocks should be sold directly to local farmers from government designated sales point.
Governor El-Rufai according to the statement gave the directive shortly after he made an unscheduled visit to the state Ministry of Agriculture fertilizer warehouse at Dankande village along Kaduna-Zaria Expressway.
According to the governor, his administration will not condone injustice and acts of discrimination that would be a disadvantage to ordinary citizens.
Earlier on Friday during a meeting with the leadership of the Northern Christian Elders Forum on Friday, Governor El-Rufai had said that the Kaduna State Government has concluded plans to merge some of the state ministries, and also cut down the number of Commissioners into the State Executive Council in order to cut down the cost of governance.
