Rumpus over fertilizer contract

The Sun News On-line: "Even as the country is yet to recover from the shocking revelations at the on-going public hearing on the power sector where mind-boggling amounts of money were expended by the last administration, another scandal is brewing at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Abuja over fertilizer deal.

A highly placed source confirmed that the ministry is enmeshed in a N63 billion scandal involving a total of 650,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer earmarked for this year’s farming season across the country. The contract is said to have been awarded, at worrisome terms, to three companies out of the over 30 that handled same in the past."
