The Chairman maintained that the distribution pattern was designed to cover farmers in all the 147 Wards of the 14 Local Government Areas of the State with out looking at the Political Party differences.
He urged members of the distribution committees to ensure strict compliance with the laid down principles and practices of the Provider of the commodity.
The Ulama Committee that has been overseeing the distribution of foodstuffs provided by the Senator across the State would implement the fertiliser subsidy project.
