Borno Allocates N4Billion To Buy 200 Cartons Of Agrochemicals For Pest, Insect Control In Maiduguri



This would mean that each carton of agrochemicals for insects and pests is estimated to cost N20 million.

ASaharaReporters review of Borno State’s 2025 approved budget reveals that N4 billion has been allocated for the procurement of agrochemicals to combat insects and pests in the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council Local Government Area.

The line item in the budget description reads: "Purchase Of 200Nos. of Cartons Of Agrochemicals For Insects And Pests In Maiduguri Metropolitan Councils LGA."

This would mean that each carton of agrochemicals for insects and pests is estimated to cost N20 million.

SaharaReporters previously reported that despite ongoing devastating attacks by Boko Haram in Borno State, the state government has continued to allocate billions in “Livelihood Support” for repentant members of the terrorist group, according to a review of the state’s budget documents.

The funds are designated for the disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration (DDR) of former Boko Haram members.

Between January and September 2024, N3.4 billion was spent for this purpose, with an additional N7.4 billion earmarked in the 2025 budget.

A review of Borno State’s 2025 budget performance for the first half of the year shows that N1.8 billion was spent on livelihood support for repentant Boko Haram members in just six months, with N1.6 billion disbursed between March and June, representing the second quarter of the year.

In addition, Government House plans to spend N1 billion on fuelling generators in 2025, which translates to approximately N83.3 million per month or N2.7 million per day (assuming a 30-day month).

Another N2 billion has been allocated for the purchase of a new power-generating set for the Government House, while N800 million is set aside for fuelling official vehicles during the fiscal year.

Add this to hajj, mosques, ramadan rams, dead airports, highways to nowhere and see why we are always getting it wrong.

Even N20m for a drum of chemical is highly suspicious talk less of a gallon of chemical.

Even weapon of mass destruction can't costt that much per gallon.

Accountability is alien to governance in Nigeria.
An extremely corrupted nation cannot grow.

Omo the same agrochemicals like dressforce, agric force, xforce, zforce, seedcare,etc I also sell. The funny thing is you will see people that will justify this brazen looting. These agrochemicals are mostly produced in kano state and a carton of the most expensive one won't be up to 150,000 and someone is allocating 20million for just a carton. The most expensive agrochemicals is the watery supplement, it usually come in dozens and am not sure it will cost 200000.

With 50million you can get a trailer of these agrochemicals from kano and if you are even buying as a wholesaler you normally get discount.

And we are even talking about Borno state. How many people are still farming there with all the boko haram stuffs happening there?

Kai kabiru; fear God ooh

You need to do an extensive report on that using this revelation as reference. It would build your business too.
