He said that the monitoring team reflects NAIDA’s dedication to ensuring the integrity of input distribution and its mission to contribute to sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria.

“The inauguration of this monitoring team across the country will no doubt reduce if not stop the atrocities being perpetrated by unscrupulous dealers within our Association, and we promise to self-regulate ourselves so that the burden of the Ministry of Agriculture, which is the recognized government regulator, is reduced considerably,” the NAIDA President said.

Fara called for collaboration with relevant stakeholders to address the scarcity of Urea in Nigerian markets, highlighting NAIDA’s commitment to working towards robust and sustainable sales and distribution of quality inputs for both small and large-scale farmers.
