Happy International Day of Women. I am a woman that is passionate about my career and I advocate for women inclusion and respectful treatment. #EveryWomanDeservesAChance 💪👍

Zero Hunger+Food Security is an ultimate goal in this time of food scarcity & hunger. Why cut big yam tubers for planting when you can get healthy yam foundation seeds for planting. Save big yam tubers for PROFIT+FOOD. Plant alternative clean yam minitubers. #FEEDTHEWORLD🌍✅💯

The role being played by women globally in research for development & innovative solutions is enormous. As we celebrate International Day for Women globally, I celebrate the dedication & passion of women in Tissue Culture Unit, Biotechnology Dept, NACGRAB (NBRDA) Ibadan, Nigeria

🇳🇬🌱 Yoruba Yam 🚜🇳🇬 #yam farmers in Ijaiye nr. Ibadan explain seed biology differences between yam varieties. In essence, small mini-tuber (depicted with stones of varied size) can produce large ware Yams & larger minitubers can produce small ware yams, depending on the variety

🇳🇬🧬 Women Leaders🔬🇳🇬 Wonderful to meet talented #Nigerian women leading teams researching crop improvement & seed systems: Drs AFOLAYAN (NACGRAB), IBITOYE (NIHORT) & OKWUONU (NRCRI).Driving vegetatively propagated seed systems development forward in Nigeria 🇳🇬 #CGIAR #PROSSIVA

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!🌱Today, we celebrate the vital role of women in African agriculture & seed systems. From seed producers to researchers, their contributions are invaluable for sustainable food security. Let's empower and support women in agric! #IWD2024 #PROSSIVA"

🇳🇬🌱 Nigerian Crops 🚜🇳🇬 NACGRAB plays a key role in protecting food security in #Nigeria by conserving crop varieties & helping introduce new ones through varietal release. #IITA & #PROSSIVA Project partners are excited to be working with NACGRAB on strengthening seed delivery

🌱 IITA Yams Abuja 🇳🇬 #IITA 's Beatrice Aighewi is conducting research thru the #PROSSIVA Project to optimize agronomy & production systems for #yam using leaf bud cuttings & minitubers. A key aim is delivering innovations to seed producers that improve seed system functioning

James Legg Bunmi Ibitoye BIOTECHNOLOGY-NRCRI NRCRI UMUDIKE IITA PROSSIVA NACGRAB (NBRDA) Tissue Culture Unit NACGRAB National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT) CGIAR Thank you James Legg. It was a great pleasure to meet again. The research activities towards seed systems' development+improvement in Africa (& Nigeria 🇳🇬) ought to be intensified & prioritized. It's time for all hands to be on deck for food security & zero hunger in Africa.✅💯

Good news!!! You no longer have to go to a NIN enrolment center to modify your NIN record. You can modify your date of birth, name, address, email, and phone number on the NIMC SELF-SERVICE APP. What are you waiting for???

Thanks to PROSSIVA project for this new hydroponic screen house. NACGRAB as a partner in Yam Component is to conduct experiments to optimize technological production pathways+innovations for yam breeder seeds using conventional tissue culture facility & Hydroponic System.
