The order to close the company came through the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative and the National Sovereign Investment Agency , through its subsidiary, Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation -NPK Limited.
In a viral video, labourers at the factory were seen manually mixing fertiliser raw materials with shovels and filling the bags on the factory floor. Urea nitrate is a fertiliser-based chemical that has been used in Improvised Explosive Devices in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and in various other terrorist acts elsewhere in the world. 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.
Adulteration of fertilisers has begun to trend in some parts of the country. A few weeks ago, the police Niger State intercepted a truck-load of adulterated fertilisers, heading to Bida from Minna, the state capital.
