 NBRDA Reassures Nigerians on GMO Safety, Food Security Role


The National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NBRDA) has reaffirmed the safety of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and their importance in tackling Nigeria’s food security challenges.


NBRDA Director General, Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, said concerns about GMOs are often driven by misinformation and fear, stressing that the agency is intensifying public engagement and evidence-based advocacy to build confidence.


He noted that GMOs are globally recognised as safe and undergo decades of research and strict regulation. In Nigeria, no GMO product is approved for circulation without clearance from the National Biosafety Management Agency (NBMA) after thorough risk assessments.


Prof. Mustapha outlined key benefits of GMOs, including higher crop yields, improved pest and disease resistance, reduced use of harmful chemicals, and greater resilience to climate change — advantages already being recorded by Nigerian farmers.


He emphasised that biotechnology complements rather than replaces traditional agriculture, equipping farmers with tools to boost productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability.


The NBRDA chief reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to transparency, bioethics, and public safety as it advances biotechnology to drive Nigeria’s agricultural and economic development.
