The Akwa Ibom State Government says adequate arrangement has been made to ensure that an automated fertiliser blending plant comes on stream in the state by 2018.

Richard Ekpe, the state’s Director of Agriculture and Food Sufficiency, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Uyo.

He said the state had already gone into a Private Public Partnership (PPP) with a U.S. fertiliser and allied product company based in Georgia, for the establishment of the plant.

According to Ekpe, the establishment of the plant is to complement the efforts of the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative (PFI) and the Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN) at ensuring the availability of fertiliser for farmers.

“Some of the facilities at our fertiliser warehouse are for blending the establishment of the blending plant.

“The infrastructure is already on ground but the equipment is expected to arrive Akwa Ibom in the next one month for installation.

“We hope to start producing fertiliser in 2018.”

According to him, the infrastructure for the fertiliser plant already cited at Abak community when completed will have a storage capacity of 400,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser.

The director also said that the state government had formed a formidable team of extension workers to get feedback on challenges and needs of farmers through their various zones and cells.

He commended the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for its fertiliser initiative, noting that it had ensured an all-year-round farming in the state.

“We commend the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative (PFI) for making fertiliser available and affordable for farmers in Akwa Ibom.

“Our governor is one of the first governors that keyed into this programme to assuage the needs of farmers and ensure they record high yield when they harvest.

“We now farm all year round; moreover, the yield will be poor if fertiliser is not applied to crops to supplement the nutrients that plants need.”

The President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said that the Senate will accelerate the passage of a bill that will curb the rate of illegal recruitment in government agencies.

Saraki said that the bill titled, “Existing Vacancies in the Federal Civil Service (Prohibition) Bill” will be one of the bill that will receive accelerated passage upon the resumption of the National Assembly.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said that the Bill, which is currently due for Second Reading, will be given priority as one of the Senate’s legislative interventions to curb the increasing rates of illegal recruitment into federal government agencies and parastatals.

“The Existing Vacancies Bill will put in place clear-cut procedures that will help to curb and possibly end the trend of ‘silent or underground recruitment.

“This country belongs to every Nigerian, and as such, all vacancies that exist in the Federal Civil Service must be properly advertised to give every Nigerian that meets the requirement a chance to apply.”

“Saraki also stated that the objective of the Bill, which was introduced by Senator Biodun Olujimi, the Senate Deputy Minority Whip, will be to promote the integrity and transparency in the recruitment of personnel into the Federal Civil Service, by making it an offence for a Federal Ministry, Agency or Parastatal to fill existing vacancies in their organizations if such vacancies have not been advertised publicly.

“With this Bill, we will set time-frames for recruitment and the publication of recruitment in national dailies.

“This will make it the duty of the heads of government agencies and ministries to ensure compliance or face punitive measures.

“Additionally,
