From Paul Orude Bauchi 

Farmers and entrepreneurs in Bauchi State have received a major boost as Wunti Al-Khair Foundation announced the distribution of over 6,000 bags of fertiliser and the training of more than 1,000 business owners in the state.

The Director of Programmes of the Foundation, Mustapha Ango, disclosed this at a press briefing held on Wednesday at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Bauchi.

Ango said the fertiliser intervention was carried out under the Bauchi Agricultural Advancement Program (BAAP) through its “Fertiliser for Farmers Initiative,” designed to improve food production and strengthen the state’s agricultural base.

According to him, the initiative targets smallholder farmers across the 20 local government areas of the state, aiming to improve soil fertility, boost yields, reduce farmers’ financial burden, and enhance food security.

“Agriculture is the backbone of Bauchi State’s economy. Every bag of fertiliser we provide is not just an input — it is an investment in Bauchi’s future,” Ango said.

In the area of entrepreneurship, Ango revealed that the Foundation has established the Bauchi Business Clinic, which has trained and mentored over 1,000 entrepreneurs and business owners on critical areas such as financial management, market positioning, access to finance, and business growth strategies.

He added that to further support small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the Foundation has sponsored the free Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration of more than 100 businesses, enabling them to access loans, grants, and formal opportunities.

Ango stressed that the initiatives were part of the Foundation’s commitment to empowering communities, reducing poverty, and contributing to the socio-economic development of Bauchi State.
