President Muhammadu Buhari has been asked to act on speedy implementation of fertilizer policy by the Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN).
Its Executive Secretary, Alhaji Rabiu Ahmed said the earlier the government act on its plans, the better for the agricultural sector, adding that farmers and stakeholders were awaiting the direction the government would take.
He said:
“Nonetheless, our members are still bringing fertiliser in small quantities, but they are not bringing large quantity because they do not know what the policy of government will be this year.
“The sooner it rolls out its work programme for farmers, the better because everybody in the sector is waiting to see what direction the government is going to take.
“We want the government to know that the 2016 planting season has already started in the farms, and there is need for farmers to know what the policy of government is.
