She was also involved in the campaign and mobilization of rural women on the benefits and need to cultivate cassava, a staple food crop consumed by people in Nigeria and in some other parts of Africa daily. In recent times, the biotech industry, the Bill Gates and their allies are doing everything within their power to drive Nigeria and the whole of Africa down the GM road, but their attempts have been faced with strong resistance.
