WHAT ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT AN ENERGY

EFFICIENT NIGER STATE

By

!" INTRO#UCTION

I start this /resentation 0ith a 0ord that intends to createa0areness of the sad sit ation in 0hich a great state is facing.

A go-ern,ent that is not serio s a o t creating an i,/ro-ed

econo,y ased on ,echanised acti-ity that can e achie-ed

thro gh the de-elo/,ent of i,/ro-ed /o0er for its citi3en.

The /resent ad,inistration has /aid ,ere li/ ser-ice to

generating , ch needed /o0er for its /eo/le4 ad-antages

0hich 0o ld ha-e ele-ated and i,/ro-ed their li-ing standards.

and in-estors li6e ees to honey4 0hat this ,eans is ,ore 7o s

and o//ort nities and social refor,s for ,ost if not all.

Energy is a f nda,ental in/ t in the de-elo/,ent of anysociety. The a,o nt of energy /er ca/ita is to foster

s staina le de-elo/,ent largely on the stage of in-est,ent.

There has4 ho0e-er4 een a decline in the energy s //ly fro,

the three hydro5/o0er stations and this has a8ected the energy

allocation to the state4 des/ite the increase in /o0er de,and

arising fro, the gro0th in the econo,y and /o/ lation.

the threat 0hich this de-elo/,ent /oses to ci-ili3ation and of

the need to ,itigate glo al 0ar,ing y drastically c tting do0n

that there is no0 a oo,ing ,ar6et in rene0a le energy
