Adebayo Adelabu and fixing electric Power supply

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

The first thing I would suggest  to Adebayo Adelabu  the minister of Power  is to reach out to the president of the Power correspondents of nigeria  for  their own data base or portfolio of reports on the Power sector.. they would have a lot of gold nuggets as to the way forward as well as speak to the secretary electricity workers union.

The minister should have in mind the Triple helix ofv university, government and industry..

You are not going to solve the power  problem by throwing money at it or buying things off the shelf.it would not work .you need the dedicated attentkn of our acsdemics. The three acsdemic cultures.

If you are not convinced  find out from the lsgos business school .one of their lecturers  has authored a definitive book on power problem in Nigeria. By a very prestigious publisher. I think routledge or springer.

There needs to be the proper funding of our physics and electrical engineering departments  via a cost benefit analysis. Also proper funding for jets clubs that is junnoiur,engineers and technicians clubs as you find onnour econdary schools and also massive funding for children's science  in addition to free feeding fot these vhildren
