The Federal Government said on Monday in Abuja that it would take steps to build public trust in biotech innovations to grow the nation’s agriculture sector.
Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, the Director-General, National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NBRDA), said this at a public forum it hosted in collaboration with African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF).
The forum had as its theme: “Advancing Agricultural Biotechnology for Food Security and Economic Growth in Nigeria.’’
Mustapha was represented at the event by Dr Rose Gidado, Director, Agricultural Biotechnology Department, NBRDA.
He said the Federal Government was conscious of the transformative potential of agricultural biotechnology in Nigeria.
“Biotech innovations hold promise for tackling agricultural challenges such as pandemics, offering solutions, for a better future.
“Through the harnessing of science and technology, we can develop resilient crop varieties, improve pest and combat disease resistance in crops.
“We can also enhance nutritional content, while ensuring that our agricultural practices are sustainable and environmentally friendly,’’ he said.
Dr Emmanuel Okogbenin, Director, Product Development and Commercialisation, AATF, said agricultural biotechnology, when responsibly developed and effectively adopted, offered a powerful set of tools that could help to address food insecurity.
“Nigeria and Kenya, along with Ghana, stand out as leaders on the continent having made significant progress in commercialising biotech crops such as Bt Cotton, Bt Maize and PBR Cowpea.
“These innovations are not just scientific milestones, they represent real opportunities to transform lives, improve farmer livelihoods, and enhance national food systems,’’ Okogbenin said.
The AATF Director, who was represented by Yarama Ndirpaya, AATF Tela Programme Manager/Out-Grower Strategy Lead in Nigeria, said it was imperative to acknowledge food security hurdles on the continent.
According to him, they included regulatory uncertainties, persistent misinformation, and public scepticism which he said, had continued to slow adaptation of scientific innovations.
“That is why this forum is so important, it offers a platform for evidence-based dialogue where diverse voices can engage, ask questions, share insights, and build common understanding,’’ he said.
The Acting Vice-Chancellor of University of Abuja, Prof. Patricia Lar, said agriculture in Nigeria faced monumental challenges with potential for food insecurity.
According to her, some of the challenges are climate change, pest infestations and soil degradation, adding that these factors threaten the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers.
She said that in spite of these challenges, opportunities still existed for innovation, collaboration and transformation.
Represented by Prof. Ahmed Dan-Kishiya, Dean, Faculty of Science, Lar expressed optimism that the power of agricultural biotechnology could be harnessed to save Nigeria from hunger.
“That is why this forum is so important, it offers a platform for evidence-based dialogue where diverse voices can engage, ask questions, share insights, and build common understanding,’’ she said.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
Glisten International Academy, Abuja, has emerged the winner of the FCT-Brunel Innovation Challenge, organised to promote entrepreneurship and innovation among secondary school students.
The challenge, titled “Building a Better Abuja,” was organised to encourage young Nigerians to explore their local environment, identify needs, and develop solutions using entrepreneurial skills.
The programme was a collaboration between Brunel University Business School, London, and the FCT Administration to foster entrepreneurship, sustainability, and innovation among Nigerian students.
Announcing the final results, via zoom, Dr Nan Jiang, Lead, Entrepreneurship Education Programme, Brunel University, explained that the Glisten International Academy won the challenge with a low-cost water purification solution initiative.
Their idea involved the use of chemical-free purifiers made from moringa oleifera, activated carbon, fine sand, and gravel, designed to provide affordable clean water to residents.
Jiang added that Government Secondary School (GSS) Gwagwalada came second with its plastic waste management and recycling innovation.
The concept involved collecting plastic waste and transforming them into useful products such as bags, flower vases, skipping ropes, baskets, torchlights, pencil and brush holders, and room decorations
The initiative aimed to provide sustainable income for the students while addressing plastic waste in local communities.
She also declared that the third position goes to GSS Kwali, for introducing a nutrition-rich poultry feed project aimed at improving poultry production in communities.
The feed is made from locally sourced ingredients like maize, papaya leaves, moringa, grain bran, soya beans, groundnut, and animal bone.
Jiang explained that the students were rated based on the statement of the problem, solution, target market business model, social and environmental impact, and alignment with SDGs.
Other criteria, she said, included team entrepreneurial experiences and skills among others.
The coordinator of the competition in FCT, Mr Musa Zuru, said that 26 schools sent entries for the competition, out of which five schools were selected.
Zuru added that the winner, the first and second runner up were selected from the five schools that scaled through the final.
He said that the goal of the challenge was to prepare future entrepreneurs who would use their creative thinking to solve societal problems.
Also, Mr Victor Oriafor, Principal, GSS Gwagwalada, said that the FCT Administration was determined to nurture the entrepreneurship mindset of students.
“What we want to see is a society where our young ones will become employers of labour rather than waiting for white collar jobs,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the winning school, Fatima Abubakar of Glisten International Academy, who could not hide her excitement, described the feat as a “new journey” for the team.
She said that the FCT entrepreneurship development programme has given students a chance to bring out their creativity and scientific minds.
“The programme has given students a platform to express themselves and create something beneficial to the world.
“It has given room for students to express their creative thinking – what they want to add to the world and what they want to innovate for the world,” she said.
Similarly, Alade Joshua of GSS Gwagwalada, who spoke on behalf of the team, said that the school emerged the first runner up due to the commitment of the team.
Joshua, who commended the FCT for the opportunity to test their innovation and creativity skills, said that the school would do better in the next competition. (NAN)
Some secondary school students from five schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Monday, presented innovative and entrepreneurial ideas to solve societal problems.
The presentations were made to officials of Brunel University, London, via Zoom, under the Nigerian-Brunel Innovation Challenge in Abuja.
The participating schools were Government Secondary School (GSS) Gudun-Karya, GSS Gwagwalada, GSS Kubwa, GSS Kwali, and Glisten International Academy, Abuja.
The challenge, titled “Building a Better Abuja,” encourages young Nigerians to explore their local environment, identify needs, and develop solutions using entrepreneurial skills.
Students from GSS Gudun-Karya presented a sustainable agriculture idea called “Project Green Tuition,” which aims to raise funds for education, especially among students from low-income households.
The project integrated palm farming with educational support, using income from palm products like palm oil, palm kernel, broom, and basket to pay school fees, targeting N2.17 million annually from 29 palm trees.
GSS Gwagwalada students introduced an idea on plastic waste management and recycling.
The concept involved collecting plastic waste, sterilising it, and transforming it into useful products such as bags, flower vases, skipping ropes, baskets, torchlights, and pencil and brush holders, room decorations.
The initiative aimed to provide sustainable income for the students while addressing plastic waste in local communities.
The GSS Kubwa team, “Team Lumina,” presented a mobile application that connects school dropouts with individuals, NGOs, and institutions to help them return to school and complete their education.
The app would generate revenue through subscriptions and downloads.
Students from GSS Kwali introduced a nutrition-rich poultry feed project aimed at improving poultry production in communities.
The feed is made from locally sourced ingredients like maize, papaya leaves, moringa, grain bran, soya beans, groundnut, and animal bone, and would be sold for N15,000 per 25-kilogram bag, generating a N2,000 profit margin.
Students of Glisten International Academy, Abuja, tagged “Cleandrops Initiative Team, presenting a low-cost water purification idea, designed to provide affordable clean water to residents, during the final lap of the Nigerian-Brunel Innovation Challenge, in Abuja.
The Glisten International Academy team, known as “Cleandrops Initiative Team,” proposed a low-cost water purification solution.

“We are also exposing students to international packaging for global markets, so whatever they produce will meet international standards,” he said.
Mr Musa Zuru, the coordinator of the competition, highlighted that the goal of the challenge was to uncover hidden talents among school students, enabling them to initiate and nurture business ideas for the benefit of their communities.
Mrs Helen Idakoji, Coordinator of the FCT-Brunel Innovation and Entrepreneurship Programme, stated that the innovation challenge would become an annual event aimed at sharpening students’ creativity and critical thinking.
She said that the top three schools would be exposed to industries in London, where they would receive support to turn their ideas into tangible products for both national and international markets. (NAN)
The Federal Capital Territory Universal Basic Education Board (FCT-UBEB) says it is entrenching innovation, technology and entrepreneurship in basic education to promote self-reliance.
Mrs Florence Wenegieme, Director, Science, Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, FCT-UBEB, stated this in Abuja on Monday, at a two-day training of FCT teachers on innovation and entrepreneurship education.
Wenegieme, who represented the acting chairman of the board, Dr Dr. Alhassan Sule at the event, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that the move was for children to drive solutions to societal problems.
She said that the innovation and entrepreneurship education was critical to achieving President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda”.
“FCT UBEB is building the capacity of our children to make them self-reliant such that a child that finished primary and junior secondary school should be able to do something for him or herself.
“We don’t want a situation where children will graduate from school and become redundant, after obtaining a certificate in basic education, a child should be able to fend for himself,” she said.
She said that initiative focuses on relevant vocational and entrepreneurial skills such as welding and fabrication, fashion design, plumbing, brick laying, electrical fittings, and hair styling among others.
According to the director, acquiring such skills will not only enable the children to be self-reliant, but also employ and train others.
She explained that the two-day training would equip the teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills on how to entrench innovation and entrepreneurship among pupils and students.
Wenegieme said that the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, was doing everything possible to transform primary and secondary education in the FCT with focus on functional skills for national development.
Her counterpart at the FCT Education Secretariat, Mr kolawale Olobashola, said that the goal was to implant entrepreneurship education in the heart of school students.
Olobashola, the Director, Science, Technology and Innovation, added that with entrepreneurial skills, no FCT child would be a nuisance on the street. (NAN)
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it is building an Entrepreneurship Skills Development Centre to promote entrepreneurship education in secondary schools.
Dr Mohammed Ladan, the Director/Secretary, FCT Secondary Education Board, disclosed this in Abuja on Monday, on the sideline of a two-day training of FCT teachers on innovation and entrepreneurship education.
Ladan told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the centre, sited at Government Secondary School Giri, was expected to be ready by end of the year.
He said that the centre was being built in collaboration with Brunel University Business School, United Kingdom, which promised to furnish and equip it when completed.
He explained that the centre would serve as hub for entrepreneurship education for the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.
He added that the centre would also be used in the training of stakeholders and other entrepreneurship teachers in skill acquisition centres across the country.
He said “we are tired of students graduating without a job; we are tired of saying no job, no job, no job. Our students, this time around, will begin to create jobs for Nigerians.
“We want to tackle the problem of unemployment with Abuja as the lead.”
The director explained that what the FCTA was doing was to prepare school children to identify societal problems that could be solved with resources in the environment.
According to him, some of the students are already providing solutions, particularly in converting waste to wealth.
He identified some of the products being produced by the students as interlocks using waste nylon and polyethene bags, toilet paper from used cartons, sweet syrup from date fruits, and flowerpots, among others.
He added that the students were being equipped with entrepreneurial skills in welding and fabrication, fashion design, plumbing, brick laying, electrical fittings, shoe making, and hair styling, among others.
The director explained that the teachers training was the third in the series of training conducted to reposition FCT schools for innovation and entrepreneurship education.
“The first training was conducted for school principals, that is the administrators who are the accounting officers of schools.
“The second phase of the training was conducted for vice principal academics, who are the custodians of the entrepreneurship curriculum.
“The third batch, taking place today, is for teachers who would drive the programme and we have more than 400 of them from junior secondary schools, senior secondary schools and teachers from private schools,” he said.
Ladan added that the fourth batch would be organised for artisans to help in deepening skills development and help school children to realise their potential. (NAN)
UNESCO in collaboration with its partners have inaugurated the Sankore project in West Africa, to boost economic diversification and development.
The programme, was inaugurated on Thursday in Abuja in partnership with Results for Development (R4D), and the UK International Development.
The programme comes under the Strengthening UK-West Africa Science, Technology and Innovation Partnerships for Sustainable Development initiative.
Sankore is a new grant delivery mechanism of up to £1.9 million supported by the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO).
Chief Uche Nnaji, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), said the Sankore project resonated with President Bola Tinubu’s eight-point agenda on economic growth.
“The Sankore project promises enhanced economic growth in improving public service delivery and raise strong partners across our region.
“Importantly, it seeks to address and establish through both frameworks to ensure coordinated project delivery and results monitoring of outcomes and impacts,” he said.
He said that a steering committee would be set up and saddled with the responsibility of providing strategic direction and ensuring accountability.
Ms Susan Mshana, Deputy Director and Head, Integrated Strategy and Delivery Unit, British High Commission, said that they were aligning with the national mandate of both Ghana and Nigeria.
“The programme compliments other UK funding interventions and programmes like Manufacturing Africa, Global Innovation Fund, British International Investment and many others.
“Specifically, Sankore will be supportive in operationalising the Ghana National Research Fund, the Nigerian National Research Fund, facilitating the commercialisation of innovation solutions in priority economic sectors such as agriculture and energy.
“It will enhance the innovation and technology policy and regulatory environment, including improving data accessibility and transparency in policy implementation to grow productivity of innovation ecosystem,” she said.
Dr Ibrahim Murtala, Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Ghana, said poor investment in Research and Development (R&D) had led to stunted development on the continent.
“The average investment for R&D stood at about 0.42 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Africa and 0.3 per cent of GDP in Ghana after more than four decades of the Lagos Declaration.
“The declaration enjoined African countries to invest at least one per cent of GDP in Research and Development (R&D).
“Patents filings for the whole of Africa is less than one per cent and publications in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biotechnology remain low in comparison with global publications.
“Sankore will be a catalyst to securing Ghana’s future as a hub for scientific advancement and technological innovation in the region,” he said.
He also said that with commitment countries in Africa could surmount the numerous challenges bedeviling the continent.
Ms Kornelia Tzinova, Head, Natural Sciences Sector, UNESCO Regional Office for West Africa, Dakar, Senegal, said the project would last till March 2026.
“We will be ensuring that we strengthen the National Science Technology and Innovation systems in both Ghana and Nigeria.
“The two countries have been chosen also to strengthen the UK, Nigeria and Ghana bilateral strategies in science, technology and innovation,” she said.
Earlier, Mr Edmond Moukala, Head of UNESCO Office, Ghana, said the project would assist Ghana and Nigeria to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
He recalled that UNESCO had been designated as the lead agency for the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development 2024 to 2033.
“The decade represents a unique opportunity for science to serve humanity and to protect our planet.
“It is also an opportunity to force societies to solve the most pressing challenges in West Africa. The Sankore project, therefore, presenst a platform that will foster the ideas of the decade.
The Sankore project was expected to support Nigeria and Ghana in navigating ways to address critical national challenges related to economic diversification, job creation, climate resilience, among others using STI initiatives.
The project is being implemented by UNESCO and R4D, in collaboration with Ghana’s Ministry of Environment, Science, and Technology (MEST), Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology (FMIST) and relevant stakeholders. (NAN)
Dr John Asein, the Director-General, Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC), says copyright law plays a crucial role in protecting the creative works of authors, artists, and innovators in this current digital era.
Asein said this on Wednesday when the commission sensitised the students of Lead British International School, Abuja, to the infringement of copyright law and its consequences, in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the copyright awareness and sensitisation programme organised by the NCC focused on educating the students on basics of copyright law, its importance as well as its impacts on individual daily lives.
Asein, in his remarks, said that the NCC’s mandate was to promote copyright awareness and education in Nigeria.
According to him, copyright law plays a crucial role in protecting the creative works of authors, artists, and innovators in today’s digital age.
“Students are not only consumers of copyright materials, but also potential creators and innovators.
“It is therefore necessary that you understand your rights and responsibilities under the copyright law.
“This programme is aimed to educate you on the basics of copyright law, its importance, and how it impacts your daily lives,” he said.
The director-general commended the management of Lead British International School for allowing its students to be sensitised.
“We believe that education and awareness are key to promoting a culture of respect for intellectual property rights
“Let us work together to promote a culture of creativity, innovation, and respect for intellectual property rights,” he emphasised.
Also speaking, Mrs Funmilayo Adewale, Director, Nigerian Copyright Academic (NCA), said the programme aimed at sensitising and creating awareness for youth about copyright laws.
Adewale said students need to know their rights as well as their responsibilities in this digital age, because things are done differently now.
According to her, in this current digital era, the youths particularly students need to know that they cannot go online and use people’s work anyhow; they have to be responsible in the way they use people’s work.
“They need to know some essential basic things as young creators as regards to their rights and expectations.
“You heard them (students), saying that they are taking certain things for granted, things that are against the law. But coming to this place, we are able to sensitise them during this programme,” she said.
The director therefore urged the students to respect people’s creative works as well as authors’ rights.
“You should be careful, responsible and acknowledge people’s work when used. Using people’s works for research purposes is not a bad idea, but those people need to be acknowledged because they are the owners of the work,” she said.
Mr Abraham Ogunkanmbi, Head of School, Lead British International School, commended NCC for organising the programme that exposed the young creative minds to copyright laws.
Ogunkanmbi, who was represented by Mrs Eugenia Essell, Deputy Head of School, Early Year and Primary, said that the sensitisation programme helped the students to know how to protect their intellectual properties.
“Even we, the adults, have learnt that there is a time limit to intellectual property rights.
“It has come to our knowledge that using works by other people without their approval attract a penalty. So, it is proper to recognise the people’s works in order not to be charged with plagiarism,” he said.
He appealed to the management of NCC to continue to convey the information to the young ones by going to schools and universities where projects are written.
“You see people writing things without mentioning where they got the information from,’’ he said.
On her part, Miss Khadija Bello, a student, described the programme as a great privilege for students to be enlightened on the copyright laws to avoid violation.
“Knowing how to protect my own creative work from being pirated is a good one to me personally.
“This experience has served as a form of encouragement to me, because it has taught me on how to be creative and express my ideas without fear,” she said.(NAN)
These Executives Minds (TEXEM) is organizing a training programme for leaders on driving innovations and intrapreneirship to succeed in a digital age.
The programme scheduled for May 19 to May 22, is expected to bring together leaders concerned with evolving digital trends and remaining competitive and relevant.
“The forthcoming “Digital Innovation: Stimulating A Culture Of Intrapreneurship In A Digital Age” programme, taking place from 19th to 22nd May 2025 in Abu Dhabi, offers a transformative solution for leaders across all types of organisations.
“(It will) small local businesses, large indigenous conglomerates, government agencies, or NGOs. By focusing on strategic capabilities rather than mere functional expertise, this TEXEM programme equips participants with the tools to redefine their organisational futures and avoid the stagnation that comes with clinging to outdated practices.”
The programme will tackle three major challenges that undermine the progress of many organisations in Nigeria.
These are an overreliance on reactive approaches, where companies wait for market shifts to become critical before adapting; absence of structured intrapreneurship and the struggle to align digital initiatives with broader organisational goals.
By attending this training, leaders will learn to proactively identify and seize new opportunities, building a reservoir of strategic options rather than scrambling for last-minute solutions.
Secondly, it will establish systems and mindsets that nurture creativity and innovation at every level of the enterprise as well as offer approaches to synchronise digital investments with strategic objectives and ensuring maximum return on effort and resources.
Past delegates have shared their experiences from previous programmes. Anne Omezi, Director of ICT at NMDPRA, described it as “an enriching and transformative experience”, adding that she gained valuable insights and skills she is eager to apply.
Similarly, Niyi Toluwalope, CEO of eTranzact Group, praised the programme for its engaging nature and profound insights, stating, “It brought together world-class professors, visionary founders, trailblazing innovators, and creative experts with unmatched expertise and rich experiences.”
The cost of the programme is £5,500, discounted to £4,750, with a further reduction to £4,300 for those who complete payment on or before May 10.
This fee covers study materials and certification, offering lasting value that extends well beyond the four days in Abu Dhabi.
The faculty, which includes Dr T. B. (Mac) McClelland, Jr. on May 20, Prof. Rodria Laline on May 21, and Prof. John Peters on May 22, comprises thought leaders who have guided global organisations to success.
“Through interactive approaches such as case studies, peer-to-peer discussions, role play, and group work, participants will gain actionable insights to empower their teams, foster innovation, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.
Their collective insights, coupled with a methodology that includes games, case studies, and peer-to-peer learning, promise an immersive experience that teaches the “how” of strategic innovation, not just the “what.”
Chief Uche Nnaji, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, says Nigeria is at the forefront of climate resilience and food security innovation.
Nnaji communicated this while addressing the Commonwealth Roundtable on Climate Finance and Food Security at Marlborough House, London, UK.
Dr Robert Ngwu, Special Adviser to minister, in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja, said Nnaji outlined a comprehensive national strategy at the event.
Nnaji highlighted Nigeria’s bold initiatives to integrate innovation, climate finance and sustainable agriculture in response to climate change, land degradation and food insecurity.
The minister called for a global commitment to integrating some inherent challenges.
“We cannot afford to let climate inaction dictate our food security, science, technology and sustainable finance in tackling this future.”
Nnaji said that under the Nigeria Living Lands Initiative (NLLI), Nigeria was implementing cutting-edge solutions designed to mitigate environmental degradation while boosting agricultural productivity.
The minister listed some of the initiatives to include: “Integrated Climate-Smart Agriculture and Land Restoration which aimed at restoring 50,000 hectares of degraded land across Nigeria while generating 2,000 dollars to 3,000 dollars per hectare in farmer income.
“Climate-Smart Greenhouses that establish a controlled environment farming to enable year-round crop production and ensure food stability despite changing weather conditions.
“Bamboo Value Chain Development to promote eco-friendly construction, carbon sequestration and sustainable livelihoods through bamboo cultivation.
“Methanol Fuel Production and Clean Cooking Initiative adoption to replace biomass and fossil fuel dependency by Expanding Low Pressure Compressed Natural Gas (LPCNG) which affects 90 per cent of Nigerian households.”
The minister also listed the Integrated Biodigester Network that transformed organic waste into biogas and fertilisers, reducing greenhouse emissions by 300,000 tonnes annually.
He said that the Integrated Biodigester Network also provided clean energy to no fewer than 10,000 households. (NAN)
