Dear Adewale,

In order to help you we need a lot of details which you're not 
providing: With what do you compare? Or in other words: which 
publication says it should be 0.08? What are the parameters you used for 
the calculation of the electronic structure of SrTiO3? Are these 
comparable to those used in the publication? And so forth...
If you have problems with BoltzTraP, there is a manual included in 
BoltzTraP, some examples, and also some utility to convert QE output to 
a suitable format for BoltzTraP.

Cheerio
