By Aminu Garko, Kano

Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has commenced the distribution of 69 trucks of fertiliser to farmers across 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State.

The distribution, which started in Danbatta and Makoda LGAs, aims to support local farmers, improve agriculture, and contribute to food security.

Senator Barau’s Chief of Staff, Professor Muhammad Ibn Abdallahi, flagged off the distribution, handing over 2,804 bags and 1,910 bags to the people of Danbatta and Makoda LGAs, respectively.

The beneficiaries praised Senator Barau for his gesture, describing him as a leader who caters to the needs of his people. One beneficiary, Tijjani Yakubu Salisu, thanked Senator Barau for saving his farm, saying he has always been there for the people of Kano North and Kano State.

“We are lucky to have him; he is a leader who caters for the needs of his people. He has nothing at heart but the people of Kano North and Kano State. We wish him all the best,” he said.

One of the beneficiaries in Makoda local government, Yakubu Salisu, thanked the Deputy President of the Senate, saying he had saved his farm with his gesture.

“From here, I will move straight to my farm. I don’t have fertiliser, but today, Senator Barau has saved my farm.

“This is Senator Barau for us. He has been doing and always doing for us. We can’t thank him enough. May Allah SWT bless him and reward him for always wiping away our tears,” he said.
