This study assessed the vulnerability of cereal yield to climate change. It aims to determine the level of climate variability, assessment of cereals yield sensitivity index, determining climate exposure index, determining adaptive capacity of farmers, assessment of the post adaptation vulnerability of cereals yield to climate change. The article concludes that adaptive capacity of farmers to climate change is high in Bwari and AMAC but low in Gwagwalada, Kuje, Abaji and Kwali. It recommends that climate change needs to be placed within the top priority of developmental context, and provision and infrastructure as well as reliable agricultural extension service.
