This year, Nigeria could have faced a fertiliser crisis.

Global supply chains were under pressure and input costs were rising. Conflict in the Middle East made the risk worse.

For farmers, that could have meant higher fertiliser prices, lower yields, and more pressure on food prices.

But our administration moved early.

Through the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI), now restructured under MOFI:

✅ 449,000+ metric tonnes (about 9 million bags) of fertiliser inputs for our blending plants were secured
✅ 10 vessels discharged or in transit
✅ 1.1 million metric tonnes production targeted in 2026
✅ About 22 million bags expected this year
✅ ₦61.58 billion saved through strategic contracting by PFI
✅ 90+ blending plants protected nationwide. Nigeria has sub-Saharan Africa’s Largest fertiliser blending capacity.

And through the Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme, NADF is taking locally produced fertiliser to farmers:

✅ 515,720 bags currently being distributed
✅ 128,930 smallholder farmers targeted
✅ 25 states + FCT covered
✅ 5,040 farmers per participating state
✅ 20,160 bags per participating state
✅ Priority crops: rice, maize, cassava and soybean

This is what food security looks like in practice. We secure the inputs, keep local plants producing, get fertiliser to farmers, raise productivity, and ease pressure on food prices over time.

A promise made. A promise being kept. We will keep working to ensure food security across the value chain for Nigeria.

Democracy Day: Zulum gives 2 MRAPs, other logistics to Army, celebrates with IDPs

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, marked Democracy Day with the handover of two Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and critical logistics to the Nigerian Army, after joining internally displaced persons (IDPs) for a symbolic celebration and distribution of food items to 2,500 beneficiaries.

The armoured MRAPs delivered to the Theatre Command of Operation Hadin Kai on Friday are intended to enhance troop protection against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and ambushes which remain a persistent threat in the fight against insurgents. Additional logistics include operational Hilux vehicles and motorcycles for frontline soldiers in difficult terrains.

Zulum also marked Nigeria’s Democracy Day celebration with Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at the Madinatu camp where he distributed food supplies, non-food items, and cash gifts to thousands of beneficiaries.

The distribution, held at the Madinatu IDP camp, served to consolidate Zulum’s resettlement gains. Over the past seven years, Borno State Government has successfully resettled more than 2 million IDPs in their ancestral communities in a dignified and voluntary manner.

“It gladdens my heart today, the 12th of June, 2026, to celebrate June 12th, Democracy Day, here in Madinatu Camp, the only formal camp that is standing inside Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, today, to the glory of God and the benefit of mankind, for the distribution of food and non-food items. Inshallah, this camp will be closed this year. This will be our last distribution exercise in this camp, or the second to the last,” Zulum said.

However, Governor Zulum used the occasion to announce a timeline for the camp’s closure. The governor ordered that Madinatu camp be shut down within one month, vowing to similarly close most IDP camps across various Local Government Areas in the coming phase of his administration’s resettlement strategy.

“Democracy must translate into restoring the dignity of our people,” Zulum told the IDPs. “Living in camps is not a permanent solution. Our goal remains to return every displaced person to their ancestral homes with security and means of livelihood.”

In addition to the food items, Zulum approved N50,000 each for the 2,500 beneficiaries present at the event.

“Each of the 500 beneficiaries mentioned will receive a 25kg bag of rice and a 25kg bag of sorghum. Women will receive wrappers. I also promise to provide 50,000 naira to each beneficiary. This amount can be credited into their own individual accounts, inshallah,” Zulum said.

The exercise was attended by the APC’s State Deputy Chairman, Garba Mulima, APC State Vice Chairman (Central) Abdur Rahman Abdulkarim, Acting Chief of Staff, Dr Babagana Mallumbe, Member representing Jere at the State Assembly, Abba Kyari Kolo, commissioners and commissioner designates and several other senior government officials.

Stakeholders Seek Stronger Reforms to Improve Business Environment in Borno

By Halima Abatcha

The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) @PEBECgovng , in collaboration with the State Action on Business Enabling Reforms (SABER), has convened a Town Hall Meeting and Stakeholders Engagement in Maiduguri aimed at strengthening reforms, addressing business challenges, and enhancing investment opportunities in Borno State.

The engagement, held at the Borno Geographic Information Service (BOGIS) Conference Hall, brought together government officials, private sector operators, investors, and business leaders to review progress on business-enabling reforms and explore strategies for promoting economic growth.

Speaking at the event, the Deputy Governor of Borno State and Chairman State Ease of Doing Business Council, Alhaji Umar Usman Kadafur, said the state has made significant progress in implementing key reforms under SABER and the Business Enabling Reform Action Plan (BERAP).

Represented by the Chairman of the Borno State Investment and Promotion Agency, Dr. Said Alkali Kori, the Deputy Governor noted that the reforms are reducing bureaucratic bottlenecks and creating a more transparent and investor-friendly business environment.

In a virtual address, the Director-General of PEBEC, Zara Mustapha Audu, emphasized the importance of collaboration between federal and state governments as well as the private sector in driving reforms that support business growth and inclusive economic development.

PEBEC Project Manager, Mrs. Aimeye Okpecholo, explained that the initiative provides states with practical reform frameworks aimed at improving the ease of doing business, adding that implementation remains critical to achieving the desired impact.

The Acting Director-General of the Borno State Investment and Promotion Agency, Maryam Tijjani Shehu, highlighted ongoing efforts by the state government to attract investments and expand access to economic opportunities.

Also speaking, the Acting Executive Secretary of BOGIS Barrister Mustapha Ibrahim outlined reforms undertaken by the agency, including the digitization of land records, online land applications, streamlined approval processes, and improved access to Certificates of Occupancy, all geared towards making land administration faster, more transparent, and investment-friendly.

The President of the Borno Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (BOCCIMA), Alhaji Ahmed Ashemi, called for improved infrastructure, particularly road networks, to facilitate trade and support private sector growth, describing Borno as a strategic hub for regional commerce.

The Executive Chairman of the Borno State Internal Revenue Service Board, Prof. Bello Alhaji Ibrahim, urged business owners to comply with tax regulations, assuring that only profitable businesses are liable to taxation.

Representatives of the trading community also appealed for soft loans to help businesses recover from the effects of the prolonged insurgency.

During a panel discussion, stakeholders identified key challenges facing businesses and proposed solutions aimed at making Borno State a more attractive destination for investment.
