Some days ago, some fertilizer monitoring groups led a team to the Kano State Fertilizer company owned by Kano State Government and the result of their visit was scary, the workers were caught manually mixing the dangerous chemicals used to make fertilizer without any form of protection, thereby exposing the workers to serious health risks. This chemical used is making fertilizers is one of the most protected materials due to the fact that it is one of the materials used in making explosivfes (you can google This) . It was also discovered that most the dangerous chemical used for fertilizer production are allowed for use by the factory workers in this factory and such was capable of being used for many dangerous purposes.

Secondly In Nigeria, adulterating fertilizer is a punishable offence, according to the National Fertilizer Quality Control Act of 2019, and the terms of imprisonment ranges from 6 months of 2 years with options of fine ranging from N1 million to N2 million.

How a state government company will be involved in adulterating a product it is selling to its citizens is difficult to understand. Knowing fully well that if this chemicals are mixed wrongly, the fertilizer can destroy the soil, destroy crops and lead to famine and loss of investments. There is no way on earth that humans can manually mix this components thoroughly like machines.

It is also known that manual handling of fertilizer components may provide access to unauthorized people to have some of these raw materials such as Urea ammonium nitrate that could be used for illegal purposes. In these days of insecurity in the north west, a state government should know better.

Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, diammonium phosphate (DAP), ammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and muriate of potash are ingredients commonly found in commercially blended fertilizers.

According to Wikipedia, Urea nitrate is a fertilizer-based high explosive that has been used in improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and various other terrorist acts elsewhere in the world, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. This is why the Federal Government, through the national Sovereign Wealth Authority, has exercised control of the chemicals to ensure they do not end up in the wrong hands. Why would a State Government make this easily reachable to those workers through manual mixing.

So how would a governor that is battling COVID-19 also have a state-owned company manually mixing fertilizer, thereby exposing his people to health risks? How can Kano explain to the world why they are allowing unauthorized people access to the dangerous chemicals used to make fertilizers, knowing the possibilities it could be used for?
