GMO: Stakeholders demand ban, raise health, food security concerns

A coalition consisting of scientists, farmers, environmentalists, nutritionists, and civil society organizations has urged the Lagos State House of Assembly to impose a ban on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) within the state. This call to action was made on November 3, 2026, as stakeholders raised concerns regarding the potential threats GMOs pose to public health, biodiversity, farmers' livelihoods, and food sovereignty.
