The innovative approach towards improving green biotechnology in Nigeria

Abstract

The practice of Agriculture is as old as man, and its existence has led to the innovation of a new technology known as Biotechnology which improves agricultural products. Nigeria is a country that is open to innovations in every area such as Science and Technology, Arts and other relevant fields. Biotechnology is technology that has been divided into various branches using colours such as (Blue, Green, Red and Grey Biotechnology) for easy identification. Our paper is focusing on the innovative approach towards improving green Biotechnology; the efforts that have been put in making green biotechnology see the light of the day in Nigeria, the public view about green biotechnological products and the challenges faced in Nigeria in implementing the technological innovation. The aim of our review is to find the the suitable approach and ways by which Green Biotechnology can be effectively implemented in Nigeria and other countries that are looking forward to the new technology. Agricultural products were the main foreign exchange earner for Nigeria years ago; hence it is an important attempt if biotechnology is embraced in the country. © 2019 Author(s).
