3 years later:

>18 million bags of 50kg NPK Fertilizer have been produced.

22 revitalized Blending plants, up from 4 in 2017

Prices are down to N5.5k—6k, from N9k—11k.
This Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) is both a Government to Government (G2G) partnership (🇳🇬 🇲🇦); and a Public Private Partnership (PPP) - bringing together @NGRPresident @nsia_nigeria @cenbank on the public sector side and @FEPSAN from the private sector.
