Zulum made the announcement on Friday evening in Bama town when he flagged off the distribution of farm inputs to over 5,000 farmers hitherto displaced by Boko Haram insurgents.
The governor said a litre of petrol sold between N1,000 and N1,200 in Maiduguri will be subsidised to the farmers for N600, noting that this is aimed at alleviating the financial burdens faced by farmers in communities that have suffered economic and infrastructural destruction due to years of conflict.
