Today, Saturday, Fatima Sarah and I visited Almat Farms Abuja. It’s really a place to be. Tourism and Farm. Abuja’s most Luxurious Resort. A very natural and serene environment set in the beautiful rolling green belt Country side of Kuje FCT. There is no regret visiting Almat.

Today, I joined global leaders and stakeholders at the Africa Food Systems Forum 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda, to shape the future of Africa’s food systems.
For Nigeria, this aligns strongly with the Renewed Hope Agenda and our commitment to strengthening food security through innovation, responsible biotechnology and effective regulation.
At NBMA, we remain committed to ensuring that modern biotechnology is safely and responsibly harnessed to support agricultural transformation, food security and sustainable development.
🌽EATING IS BELIEVING🌽
We took the facts to the farm in Zaria today!At ABU, farmers, professors: TELA Maize growing healthy side-by-side with other crops. Soil is fine. Harvests bumper.Farmers testified. Scientists confirmed. No lies.
They are science. And the science.

Let’s Talk Facts
MYTH: "Biotech foods are unsafe"
FACT: Every biotech crop goes through 5-7 years of safety testing by scientists and regulators like NBMA before it reaches you.
Food safety is non-negotiable.
What other questions do you have about agricultural biotech?
Ask me below 👇 I’ll answer!

Farmers First
Mama Aisha used to spray her cowpea 8 times.
With PBR Cowpea, she sprays just twice.
She saves money. Her children eat better. Her farm produces more.
Agricultural biotechnology = dignity for farmers.
Drop a ❤️ if you support science that helps farmers.

The Future of Food
🌾 *Biotech is feeding the future🌾
Imagine cowpea that resists pests, cassava that doesn’t get rotten, and rice that grows with less water.
That’s Agricultural Biotechnology at work.
It’s not about “GMO vs No GMO”. It’s about: More food. Less hunger. Better farmers’ income.
What crop do you think Nigeria needs biotech help with most? 👇

GM crops safe? The science says yes ✅
*WHO*: GM foods on market today have passed safety checks + no health risks found.
*EFSA*: EU-approved GM crops = as safe as conventional.
FAO: Biotech can help cut hunger.
NBMA Nigeria: Bt cowpea + TELA maize passed strict safety tests.
GM foods = tested, monitored, safe. Questions? Ask me
