Biotechnology clusters is a grossly underutilizedprime real estate asset that has the potential to become the
best piece of real estate in Africa, with the right mix of investorand realestate development expertise.
We propose a Public Private Partnership (PPP) structure to realize thesepotentials. Our financing structureis
flexible and innovative to take account of the changingrequirements of the project development lifecycle.
We commit to acquiring minimumof 20,000 hectares of land at each geo political zoneand developinga world
classbiotechnology cluster facility at 6 states of the federation. A number ofpossible sites have been
identified.
In actualizing the BVN concept, lessons have beendrawnfrom similarinitiatives worldwide, However, we have
assembled an outstandingteam of professionals to deliver this project in record time
We commit to growing Biotechnology Villageof Nigeria (BVN), the project vehicle, into the most important real
estate brand in Africa andan investors¡¦ delight
This development will deliver an iconic landmark to showcase the Biotechnology industry clusters potential of
Nigeria and rival the best in the world.

Biotechnology is the use of living systems and
organisms to develop or make useful products or
"any technological application that uses biological
systems, living organisms or derivatives there of
to make or modify products or processes for
specific use" (UN Conventionon BiologicalDiversity).
Bio - means "Life;“
Techno - means "tools;“
- Ology - means "the study of."
In the year past Nigeria has used biotechnology in Agriculture, Food production and Medicine, Now in the global
village, biotechnology is expanding to include new and diverse sciences such as Genomics, Recombinant
Gene technologies, applied Immunology, development of Pharmaceutical therapies and Diagnostic tests etc.
"Making New Technologies Work for Development" (UN, 2001 ) identified biotechnologyas a key avenue for the
socio-economic advancement of the developingcountries.;
7. 8/24/2013 Welcome to the Biotechnology Village Nigeria 7
The practice of biotechnology different in many developing countries is nevertheless impressive. The establishment of National
Biotechnology Development Agency and related agencies in Nigeria is indicative of biotechnology being accorded high policy
status in national development.
There are manyindustrialclusters in Nigeria but noneis bone out of life science, the majority of biotechindustries are
pharmaceutical industries, agriculture and health and are mostlyforeign companies with sales outlets in Nigeria. DANIFOL
Biotechnology Consult, Lagos and Innovative BiotechNigeria limited are examples of few privatelyowned Biotech companies in
Nigeria.
Nigeria oncea large foodexporter,Nigeria is now a majorfood importer especially from the US,
spends aboutthreebillionUS dollars yearlyon food importation. ‘Nigeria still a spectator in N41bn
global biotechnology industry’ – PSN President. He says despite the injection of N200billion Pharmaceutical
Development Fund by the Federal Government, Nigeria is but only a spectator in the 41 billion naira global biotechnology
industry.
Young democracy, Shortregimes of policy makers, Corruption and Global cash crunch are the major challenges of
development of biotechnology in Nigeria .. However, Stabilized democracy will make room for Long time goals of
government policies and these will together strengthen biotechnology development in Nigeria.
With the establishment of the proposed village, Come 2020, we target a bountifulgrowth of biotech companies in Nigeria
and our products at international market. The proposed village is an excellent chanceto stop and refocus on
biotechnologyclusters ideas and inspire creative planning, development and managing innovation solutions.
