The Nigerian silk industry, once a major economic contributor, has faced a significant decline due to various economic, environmental, and technological challenges. The objective of this review paper is to investigate the potential for technological innovations and provides a comprehensive pathway to revitalize the silk industry in Nigeria focusing on modern techniques in mulberry cultivation, biotechnological interventions for pest and disease management, and the impact of government policies in promoting eco-friendly technologies. The review also considers recent developments in automation and mechanization, highlighting their potential to boost productivity and sustainability. Case studies of successful technology and sustainability integration in sericulture from other countries are analyzed to draw relevant lessons for Nigeria. The review examines the environmental impact of traditional sericulture practices and how sustainable methods can mitigate these effects. Policy recommendations to support sustainable sericulture are discussed, emphasizing the role of public-private partnerships in driving industry innovation. By prioritizing recent literature, this review offers current insights into the industry's state and provides strategic recommendations for stakeholders to foster a sustainable and technologically advanced sericulture sector in Nigeria. The ultimate goal is to revive the Nigerian silk industry through a balanced approach that integrates modern technology with environmental sustainability, ensuring long-term viability and economic growth.
