The state of biosafety in Nigeria must go beyond technical and go into the ethical and political senses. The question we must ask ourselves: why are we hungry? Food in africa is deeply rooted in culture and our identity as a people @NnimmoB@CAPPAfrica@kebetkachewomen@ERAFoEN1

The Safe Schools Initiative to improve security around schools was launched in the aftermath of the Chibok abductions. However, its implementation has been bogged down by bureaucratic roadblocks and allegations of corruption. As a result, many northern states have closed hundreds of schools indefinitely, disrupting the education of thousands of children:

Snippets from the 5th Niger Delta Alternatives Convergence (NDAC) held in Uyo on Thursday, 14 May 2026. At NDAC 2026, we reflected on painful realities of abandonment
NDAC remains a platform for action, and alternatives.

Synbio milk differs nutritionally from cow's milk; contains 93 uncharacterised fungal metabolites & 236 fungal proteins — study. And none of those proteins have been tested for safety or allergenicity at exposure levels relevant for synbio milk consumption https://t.co/Qf6o6WfJzB
'Oil companies must clean Niger Delta before phase-out'
On gas flaring, both oil companies and the Nigerian government were accused of sustaining an environmental crime despite decades of court rulings against the practice. https://t.co/kXqyH59g6S
We don't solve chemical pollution with "biological" pollution. Releasing live GM lab cultures—whose unintended spread will be impossible to control—risks permanently damaging nature's own ecosystems. This Danish article is well worth a machine translate. https://t.co/Rg5poKKEde
In yet another utter display of impunity and complete disregard for due process of law, armed EFCC @officialEFCC operatives invaded a hospital and dragged a doctor at gunpoint, while also beating some staff of the hospital in Uyo Akwa Ibom state: https://t.co/qZBp09iZvn
Today, several oil wells are out of service in the Niger Delta, but they haven’t stopped polluting. This reality requires that every oil well in the region should principally be seen and treated as a crime scene. @NnimmoB#NDAC#DecomissioningandAccountability
@NnimmoB The first economically viable oil wells in the Oloibiri field continue to leak today even though Shell left them in the 1970s. As we speak they are still leaky and exposing the Otuabagi communities to environmental and health harms #NDAC2026#DecomissioningandAccountability
@NnimmoB Genocide in the Niger Delta is never accidental. It is planned and executed by those who think they can escape accountability. Those who think they can play politics with pollution @NnimmoB#NDAC2026
@NnimmoB Environmental horrors in the Niger Delta have been documented in major reports over the years, including the Niger Delta Environmental Survey (NDES)- 1991-1997 ), the UNEP report in 2011, and the Bayelsa State Oil and Environment Commission report in 2023. #NDAC2026
