TRUST GROUP
The Institute for
Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University, recently embarked on a
strategic courtesy visit to the headquarters of the Media Trust Group, owners
of Daily Trust, Weekend Trust, Teen Trust, Digital Trust, Aminiya, Trust TV,

for the Institute’s groundbreaking work on a new maize variety poised to reduce
Nigeria’s dependency on maize imports and significantly contribute to
addressing the nation’s food security challenges.

transformative potential of this maize variety in bolstering local production,
empowering farmers, and enhancing national resilience against food crises.
During the visit, IAR shared insights into the extensive research and
development efforts that culminated in the new variety.
The Media Trust Group’s
influential platforms offer a powerful avenue to engage the public,
policymakers, and stakeholders on the critical role of agricultural innovation
in achieving sustainable food security. By leveraging these trusted media
channels, IAR seeks to amplify its message of hope and progress for the
Nigerian agricultural sector.
This collaboration
underscores IAR’s commitment to not only advancing agricultural research but
also fostering strong partnerships with media organizations to ensure that
vital innovations reach every Nigerian.
Together, let’s build a
food-secure Nigeria!
