The Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN), Katsina State Chapter, says it has distributed 20 trucks of fertilizers to its members for the 2022 farming season.
The State Chairman, Malam Mannir Suleiman, who disclosed this in Katsina said the fertilizers were distributed to its members in the 34 Local Government Areas of the State.
Suleiman said the initiative was to encourage medical and health workers to involve in other ventures as a means of getting extra income to sustain themselves.
”The union is selling the NPK 20-10-10 brand of fertilizer at the rate of N15,000 per bag while the cost price at open market is N16,000.
”The fertilizers are given to members in form of loan and they are expected to pay back within three months,” he said.

He urged the government to do more as part of dividends of democracy.
