BRIEF ON THE INSTITUTE

The Nigerian Institute of Science Laboratory Technology (NISLT) was established by Act

12 of 2003 of the National Assembly and made a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of

Science and Technology. The Institute was hitherto known as the Nigerian Institute of

Science Technology (NIST) founded in 1971.

The core mandate of Nigerian Institute of Science Laboratory Technology is to “advance

science laboratory technology profession and ensure through its registered members

effective and efficient management and administration of science laboratories in

Nigeria”.

Over the years, the Institute has put in place human resources and infrastructure to enable it

fulfills its mandate. Among them, is the establishment of Multipurpose Science Laboratory

at its Secretariat, Ibadan, Oyo State, equipped with state- of-the-art science equipment for the

conduct of training, laboratory services and research. Prospective participants for the training

workshops will have the opportunity to apply these equipment and thus acquire relevant

knowledge and skills in their applications to enhance their performances at work.

Resource persons for the workshops are experienced scientists and technologists drawn from

Universities, Research Institutes and the Private Sector.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

The workshops will be conducted through a combination of lectures, discussions, case

studies, practical and multimedia presentations.

The under listed workshops and training programmes are scheduled for the year, 2013.
