Speaking at the disbursement, Arch. Najibullah Falalu Tukur said, “Today, I had the honour of making another mark in Buji Local Government Area, distributing 500 bags of 25kg fertilizer FREE to our farmers under the Matawalle Agricultural Support Program (MASP).”

He explained that other beneficiaries of the free fertilizer distribution included party executives, traditional rulers, imams, members of trader union branches, and personnel from security agencies.

The chairman emphasized, “This is more than just fertilizer. It is an investment in our people, our land, and our shared future. It is my way of telling every farmer, every family, and every community: Buji stands with you, Buji invests in you, Buji believes in you.”
