Speaking at the International Conference on Biotechnology (ICoB24) in Abuja, Dr. Ebegba emphasized the expertise and certification of GMO seeds by the NBMA, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.



As the pioneering DG of NBMA (2015-2023), Dr. Ebegba highlighted the agency's achievements in establishing a regulatory framework for Nigeria's biosafety industry. 



He appealed to the federal government to collaborate with professionals and scientists to develop a center providing support services for farmers, enabling them to produce high-quality products using GMO seeds.



The conference, held at the NAF Center in Abuja, brought together biotechnology experts from Nigerian institutions and African representatives to discuss the latest developments and best practices in biotechnology.



Dr. Ebegba's call for adoption of GMO seeds is expected to boost Nigeria's agricultural sector and enhance food security in the country."
