The Nigerian Army has distributed 40 bags of fertiliser to selected farmers in Jigawa State as part of its Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) activities aimed at supporting local communities and enhancing agricultural productivity.
Security sources reliably informed that the distribution exercise was carried out on Thursday at Dahuwa Primary School in Chamo District of Dutse Local Government Area.
According to the sources, the Commander of the 26 Armoured Brigade, Brig.-Gen. O.I. Odigie, represented the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) during the event.
The fertiliser was distributed to selected farmers drawn from communities within the brigade’s area of responsibility as part of efforts to strengthen relations between the military and host communities while supporting food production.
The sources said the initiative forms part of the Nigerian Army’s broader commitment to community development and socio-economic support programmes across the country.
The event was conducted peacefully and without any security incident.
