Abstract
Nigeria has been experiencing various socioeconomic and
environmental challenges such as unemployment, poverty,
insecurity and climate change within the past few decades. These
challenges are traceable to a lack of synergy between capital and

Bioeconomics and Bio-entrepreneur are potent tools for building
a strong synergy between capital and nature to enhance sustainable
socio-economic development in the nation. This paper focuses on
how biology education can be utilised to develop and promote
Bio-entrepreneur opportunities among Nigerian youths for
sustainable national development. The paper provided overviews
of concepts such as biology education, bio-entrepreneur, bioeconomics and so forth. The millennium development goals and
the 21st-century skills within the context of sustainable
development in Nigeria. Finally, the paper advocated for urgent
realignment of biology and science education for sustainable
national development.
