MID TERM REPORT (2011-2013)
The Honourable Minister of Science and Technology,
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

•Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) provide essential
ingredients for the industrialization and the establishment of
sustainable development of nations.
•Development of knowledge-based economies (Drucker, 1969;
Machlup 1962) has become fundamental for the socio-economic
transformations and innovative modernization globally.(Use of
knowledge technologies to produce economic benefits/job creation
• 1. Know-who. 2. Know-how 3. Know-what 4. Know-why
(All driven by S & T)
• Ref: (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development-OECD; David and Foray 1995; Gibbons et
al., 1994; Baldwin et al., 1995)
• A knowledge-based economy can only be sustained using a
dynamic interacting Triple Helix Model of Innovation
(Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, 2000: Zhou 2001, Ewa, 2012)

• DNA Barcoding – Biotechnology to check the illegal trade in
Endangered species.
The Goole Sponshored two-year project will be devoted to enabling partner
countries use DNA barcode evidence to investigate and prosecute poaching crimes
and international trafficking in CITES listed species amongst others.
The Project, which is being coordinated by the National Biotechnology
Development Agency (NABDA), aims to make DNA barcoding the gold standard
for identifying biological species, especially the endangered ones in the country.
Nigeria has been selected to be one of the Six countries to participate in a project on
the Consortium for Barcode of Life (CBOL) on barcoding CITES species with a $ 3
million grant from Google's Global Impact Awards.
