Buhari also expressed delight that the 3,333 trucks meant for the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) did not get missing.
Punch reports that the President said this on Friday, March 2, 2018, while speaking with members of the PFI at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said “Unlike in previous governments where trucks conveying fertiliser would miraculously disappear in transit, in 2017, none of the 3,333 trucks that participated in this programme went missing.

“I want to assure all participants of the PFI that, we will continue to provide adequate security so that this programme, and its positive impact on Nigeria, is sustained.”
Adding that “The rains are upon us. Farmers in the Southern part of the country will be planting soon. We must all do our bit to ensure fertiliser is readily available.
“Therefore, the Ministry of Finance and Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority should immediately engage the Governors Forum to conclude their orders.
