Senator Bar. Sunday Katung of Kaduna-South has provided 5,000 bags of fertilizer to farmers across the eight Local Government Areas in his district. During the distribution event in Zonkwa, Zango Kataf LGA, he emphasized that this initiative aims to mitigate the severe hunger affecting the country.
“We aim to ensure that those who truly need this fertilizer receive it,” stated Katung, urging the distribution committee to prioritize the intended beneficiaries.
Hon. Yohanna Allahmagani, Chairman of the Distribution Committee, highlighted that the fertilizer targets the less privileged, including widows, orphans, and youths. “Each beneficiary is expected to receive one bag of fertilizer to support their farming efforts,” he said.
Hon. Francis Sani (Zimbo), Executive Chairman of Zango Kataf LGA, expressed gratitude, “We are grateful to Senator Katung for bringing smiles to our faces. We must pray for his continued efforts for Southern Kaduna.”
He also warned beneficiaries against selling the fertilizer, emphasizing that strict measures are in place to ensure its proper use.
Beneficiaries Mary Joshua and Musa Auta thanked the Senator, saying, “We promise to use the fertilizer to ease hunger in our families. May God bless you for this generous gesture.”
