Reference excerpt

Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu (born 25 September 1953) is a Nigerian microbiologist and served as the Director General/CEO of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), a research agency under the Nigerian Ministry of Science & Technology until the expiration of her tenure in 2018.

Career Before assuming duty as the Director General/CEO of NABDA in November 2013, Ogbadu had lectured at her alma mater Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, for twenty years and later at Benue State University, Makurdi, for another six years. In 2002 she was appointed Director of Research and Development at NABDA and later served as the Director of Bioentrepreneurship from 2004 to 2005. Ogbadu also served in an acting capacity as the Director General/CEO of NABDA for three months in 2005, and afterwards became head of the department of Food and Industrial Biotechnology at the NABDA from 2005 to 2011. She also served as director of research from 2011 until 2013, when she was appointed to her current position. Ogbadu initiated the technology transfer on the "Temporary Immersion Bioreactor System" from AZUTECNIA of Cuba into Nigeria for mass production of elite plantlets. She also facilitated the signing of a memorandum of understanding on vaccine production between Finlay of Cuba and Nigeria (FMST, Federal University of Technology, Minna and CDC co-opted) in early 2013. During her period of service as the acting Director General, Ogbadu restored Nigeria's membership of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. Other biotechnology projects were initiated through collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations under the South South cooperation during this period. At the outset of the 2014 West African Ebola virus epidemic, NABDA under her leadership developed probes and primers for detecting Ebola virus disease. The kits were capable of diagnoses within 24 hours of contacting the virus, even before symptoms start manifesting, thereby preventing the spread of the disease. This was achieved in collaboration with the South Korean biotechnology company Bioneer. Under two years of her leadership as Director General, she succeeded in pushing for the passage of Nigeria's Biosafety Bill, which had been in limbo since its inception in 2002, into law. Similarly, the Biotechnology Bill has received approval of the Federal Executive Council within the same period and is now before the National Assembly. A five-year biotechnology Strategic Plan has also been developed for the first time and is currently being implemented.

Publications Ogbadu has published over 40 refereed journal/book of her research findings, 87 percent of which are in reputable international journals and the rest in local journals/books of high ranking. Ogbadu has contributed chapters to the Elsevier Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology. She has presented over 22 Seminar and Conference Papers at various scientific gatherings.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu

In research: Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1953 births, Academic staff of Ahmadu Bello University, Ahmadu Bello University alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lucy Jumeyi Ogbadu outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
