Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

In Nigeria, there is this popular story of how some Asian countries came to Nigeria and left with our palm seedlings and other plant resources. Today, Nigeria imports oil from those countries.

Many of such stories abound especially if you are close to technicians that work with most foreign experts in the forest across the country.

This is the perfect icing on the cake for Nigeria, as the country turns a new page that speaks of progress in the right direction.

A major reason for plant breeders in Nigeria to celebrate is the fact that the Act may have provided a perfect cover for them, as it protects plant varieties just as it is as a platform that encourages investment in plant breeding and crop variety development. Arguably, the gains of the Plant Variety Protection Law for Nigeria are manifold. For one, it will provide legal intellectual property rights to plant breeders who develop new and improved seeds for increased crop production. Analysts believe that the law will help Nigeria move from generating the current zero forex earning from seeds export to generating over $2.0 billion from seeds export within the first five years.
