Nigerian gov’t denies reports of scrapping NBAIS

The Nigerian government has vehemently dismissed reports suggesting it plans to scrap the National Biotechnology Development Agency's Innovation and Standards (NBAIS). The denial came in a formal statement, emphasizing that such claims are entirely unfounded and misleading. This clarification is important as NBAIS plays a critical role in regulating biotechnological practices and ensuring the country's biotech sector adheres to international standards. The government's reassurance aims to quell any unnecessary public concern and maintain confidence in Nigeria's biotech regulatory framework.
