<p>The Director NACGRAB, Dr Sunday Aladele, said this in an interview on the sideline of the Technical Working Group&#8217;s meeting on users’ engagement on Friday in Kano.</p>
<p>Aladele who said that the project&#8217;s target was to address climate change, advised Nigerian farmers to adopt the centre’s climate resilient seeds under the `Crop for Resilience&#8217; project.</p>

<p>Aladele noted that the essence of the meeting was to relate with the Technical Working Group to know their roles in the user engagement project.</p>
<p>According to him, Technical Working Group and NACGRAB will continue to support and guide the farmers on selecting the right variety for cultivation.</p>
<p>He said that the Germ plasm Users Group (GUG) for sorghum and cowpea and other crops with relevance to climate change, would guide farmers in selecting the right variety for cultivation.</p>
<p>He advised the farmers to multiply the seeds in large number and share with others</p>
<p>Also, Crop trust consultant, Dr Fred Rattunde, stressed the importance of crop conservation saying that it will enable researchers to access the different indigenous crop samples in the gene-bank for breeding, particularly in view of the climate change.</p>
<p>He said that it would also assist to increase agricultural productivity and guarantee food security in the country.</p>
<p>Rattunde, who described the project as courageous and pioneering, called for synergy and strong linkage between farmers and the centre.</p>
<p>Similarly, the Country Representative of ICRISAT Nigeria, Mr Angarawai Ignatius, urged the farmers to change their traditional mindset by adopting NACGRAB climate resilient seeds under crop for resilience project.</p>
<p>He also said that the project, supported by Crop Trust, aimed at mitigating effects of climate change in Nigeria.</p>
<p>Members of the Technical Working Group who spoke at the meeting urged NACGRAB to continue to support and guide the farmers on selecting the right seeds variety for cultivation.</p>
