AAPN Report on Implemented Activities, Outputs and Outcomes in 2025
The widespread and largely unregulated use of chemical pesticides in Nigeria, particularly Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs), continues to pose serious risks to public health, environmental sustainability, food safety, and farmers’ rights. Evidence presented during Alliance for Action on Pesticides in Nigeria (AAPN) engagements shows that more than half of the pesticide active ingredients in Nigeria fall within the HHP category, many of which are banned in the European Union but are still openly sold and widely used across Nigeria.
This report highlights AAPN’s activities, including coordinating programmes in policy advocacy, regulatory engagement, public awareness, investigative reporting, stakeholder collaboration, and grassroots education, aimed at strengthening pesticide governance and accelerating a transition toward agroecology and safer alternatives in 2025.
