The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has donated 15 trailers of fertiliser to members of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Minister’s donation, which was handed to the party’s secretary by the Chairman of the state chapter of the APC, Hon. Tukur Umar Danfulani, will be distributed to beneficiaries across the state.
This information was contained in a statement issued by the state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Yusuf Idris Gusau, and made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday.
The statement said the Minister’s gesture will boost agricultural output, economic growth, and development in the state.
It explained that part of the fertilizer was allocated to the Minister by the federal government, and he purchased additional trailers to complement the federal government’s agricultural initiatives and ensure a bumper harvest in the coming wet farming season.

He further stated that all 15 trailers will be distributed free of charge to identified beneficiaries with the sole aim of supporting farmers.
Danfulani also thanked the Minister, who doubles as the leader of the party in the state, for the gesture.
He recalled that during his time as governor, Matawalle maintained close ties with all party members, which helped sustain unity among the party’s leaders and supporters.
The Chairman assured that the fertilizer would reach party members in all 147 wards across the 14 local government areas of the state and urged other leaders to emulate such goodwill toward the people.
“Beneficiaries of the gesture will include Party State Working Committee members and executives, local government executives, some ward executives, Party Elders, Youths, and other critical stakeholders across the state.”
The Chairman commended the party members for their patience and support, which has made the party more popular and acceptable among the people of the state.
