Embracing genetically modified crops, known as GMOs, will be very helpful if Nigeria is to meet her set goals on attaining food security and reduction on import dependency, the government’s biosafety agency has said.Rufus Ebegba, while speaking in Lagos last Thursday at a workshop, said his agency is working to ensure that only safe genetically-modified seeds and grains are allowed into Nigeria for food and feed processing.
Some groups have called for the ban of genetic modification of food crops and animals due to concerns over its impact on agriculture and the alteration of the ecosystem.
If GMO crops were all good why are many Americans opposed to them. Why the labels on most food supplements that.... 'does not contain GMO substance'? Bringing GMO to Nigeria was the greatest achievement of Dr Adesina as Min of Agric. That's the reason for his WFP award
