Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI)

1. In December 2016 King Mohammed VI of Morocco paid a State Visit to Nigeria. During that visit he and President Muhammadu Buhari oversaw the signing of several Agreements between Nigeria and Morocco, covering Agriculture, Energy, Aviation and other areas. One of the Agreements signed went on to lay the foundation for a Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI), approved by President Buhari shortly after the Visit. The resulting collaboration has already yielded the domestication of Fertilizer Production in Nigeria.

Buhari and Conspiracy Theories: Mahmud Jega is Right

I study Northern Nigeria for a living. I am a Lugardian Northerner. I grew up in and schooled in Northern Nigeria. I know that conspiracy theories have a high resonance in the region. I know that implausible and sometimes ridiculous alternative explanations and alternative facts circulate in the region to devastating effect.

Conspiracy theories led to non-Muslim fellow Nigerians being killed in Kano shortly after the beginning of the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. The ignorant interpretation of cosmic and climatic events as recompense for sin by some Muslim clerics led to Christians being attacked in Maiduguri when there was a solar eclipse--years before Boko Haram emerged.
