Tell me when they slash it.
Promising since Adam.

What has happened to cement price?

Nigeria shld be manufacturing or looking forward to manufacturing and onward exportation of Fertilizers and other agro-allied products to other African states.................................................................................Not the other way round.

The Federal Government plans to slash the price of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (NPK) fertiliser to N5, 000 per bag to encourage farmers to boost agricultural production in the country.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who made this known to newsmen in Abuja, said the plan is to make food production easier and enhance profit for farmers in the country.

The minister said the government would take delivery of the first shipment of 800, 000 tonnes of NPK fertiliser from Morocco by January 27.

According to him, government wants the blending to take place everywhere in the country so that farmers can have access to fertiliser at the lowest possible cost.

A bag of NPK costs between N7, 500 and N9, 000 in the open market. But with the first shipment of phosphate from Morocco expected to arrive today in Lagos and then the blending done here, Ogbe said: “We are bringing the price of fertiliser to N5, 000 per bag.”

He explained that the government wants to ensure that every blender in the country who has the capacity will blend. “If we can bring the prices of fertiliser to N5, 000 per bag, food production will become easier and farmers will enhance their profit,” the Minister said.

He said this was why the King of Morocco (Mohammed VI) came to Nigeria and the reason why President Muhammadu Buhari visited Morocco. “The target we have is about 800,000 tonnes of fertiliser per annum from Morocco, but the problem we have is that we do not only satisfy Nigerians, our neighbours always come in and take a bit,” Ogbe said.

While noting that Nigeria cannot deny her neighbours entirely, he said “we have to satisfy ourselves first.’’

It would be recalled that indigenous conglomerate Dangote Group and the OCP Group of Morocco had in December 2016 signed an agreement to import more than two million tonnes of customised fertiliser into Nigeria.

The agreement was meant to boost fertiliser production and businesses in the country within the next three years.

The OCP Group is said to be a global leader in the phosphate and phosphate derivatives market.

Nice development. I pray this will not end up to be one of the numerous promises of APC to Nigerians. Although we all know 2019 is around the corner and a lot of corrections will begin to spring forth from the ruling party... I wish them what they wish Nigerians......

What is stopping us from producing fertilizer in dis unfortunate country

our neighbours always come in to take a bit.

Me am just laughing because all our ministers are now liars first and comedians in the second.

Yea I did. Do you know the people collecting Npower money that I know? (whispering)... Civil servants!


So tell me, is that what your dictionary defines as empowerment? O.D.E, in CAPITAL letters!

adem30:
Good question bro. But ming you, the previous government subsidised the fertilizer and refused to pay the contractors, accumulated N65b debt to this present government. If you were in their shoe what will you do?

Nice contribution, never knew tho,
We learn everyday

DIS govt is the most confused govt in d history of confusion. Wen dey came into power, one of the first things dey did was to remove subsidy on the prices of fertilizers and other incentives enjoyed by farmers claiming corruption as usual. So why are dey going back to start d whole subsidy regime again? Exactly d same way dey rushed to remove subsidy for petrol and now back to paying subsidy claims to marketers because dey couldn't sustain it. Dis their trial-and-error policies of becoming embarrassing.

How many time we go hear this one

Scatterscatter:
Nice move at least.

But one question;: why did FG stop the fertiliser subsidy when they came in fresh and now doing what they could have done initially.

I think Nigeria is in this Economic poo cos of indecisive decisions this administration is trademarked for.

I pray God grant those at the helm of affair wisdom to lead us right.

I think you never hear about the corruption that goes with this fertilizer issue of l thing under GEJ?

Even it was Buhari that pay the Fertilizer debt of about #65billion ....

So first thing is to first stop it and clear the debt..

vengertime:
For over 2 years, federal government to , federal government to. APC government is so useless and shameful.

And for 5yrs under GEJ it's FG to Construct 2ng Niger Bridge and we did not even see ordinary photo self..

Omoakinsuyi:
FG to do this, FG to do that....two years gone already

GEJ promise you 2nd Niger Bridge in 2011, He still promise you the same 2nd Niger Bridge in 2015..
