This paper discusses the Nigeria’s economic problems, causes and the way forward. Governance issues, lack of policy directions on the part of government, corruptions, fall in crude oil prices, over-reliance in crude oil, lack of economic diversification, spate of violent among the constituent units and militancy group, fear of the reintroduction of Buharinomic policy and greed were identified as the major causes of the Nigeria’s economic problems. On the way forward, the study noted that strong law against corrupt practices is imminent, and vibrant market economies that will result in the emergence of classes of industrial workers, diversification, unity and national economic summit to discuss some gray issues in the country. Moreover, Federal Government of Nigeria should come up with definite economic policy direction, “engage in more efficient restriction and controlling of foreign exchange outflow, undertake revival of the country’s productive capacity and broaden government revenue base”. The Federal government should as a matter of urgency concentrate on economic programmes that will continue to arrest the decline in the economy, restore investors confidence and avoid unguided utterances. To chart a future course for economic stability and prosperity, government should engage the services of renowned technocrats in any economic team and continue to demonstrate exemplary leadership in principles and practice in issue of national interest.","PeriodicalId":101533,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Exploitation of Renewable & Non-Renewables Natural Resources & the Environment (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114183587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Policy makers are faced with the question of how to promote this innovation, and whether to focus on a few technologies or to spread their bets. We present results on the extent to which public R&D might shape the future cost of energy technologies by 2030. We bring together three major expert elicitation efforts carried out by researchers at UMass Amherst, Harvard, and FEEM, covering nuclear, solar, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), bioelectricity, and biofuels. The results show experts believe that there will be decreasing returns to R&D and report median cost reductions around 20% for most of the technologies at the R&D budgets considered. Although the returns to solar and CCS R&D show some promise, the lack of consensus across studies, and the larger magnitude of the R&D investment involved in these technologies, calls for caution when defining what technologies would benefit the most from additional public R&D. Indeed, the wide divergence of opinions suggests that it is still too early to pick winners and that a broad portfolio of investments may be the best option.","PeriodicalId":101533,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Exploitation of Renewable & Non-Renewables Natural Resources & the Environment (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116031356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ackah, Robert Atsrim","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2665023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2665023","url":null,"abstract":"Ghana has been plagued with Power Crisis for the past three years. In the mix of discussions on the energy challenges that Ghana has been confronted with over the years is the level of efficiency of its sole electricity distribution organisation; the Electricity Company of Ghana Limited (ECG). Whiles some experts have called for the contracting of the management of the ECG in order to make it much more efficient and profitable, others have advised that the company should be totally privatised. Proponents of the latter stance argue that this would enable the ECG run more efficiently and attract the necessary investments which would employ efficient technologies in the distribution of power for industry and households. This feat is necessary especially considering that Ghana has committed to universal access to electricity in year 2020. This paper focuses on analysing the financial performance of the Electricity Company of Ghana from 2009 to 2012 by the use of financial ratios. In nutshell, results from the ratios are used to advise on the best ways to make the ECG an efficient organisation in delivering on its core mandate to the citizenry of Ghana.","PeriodicalId":101533,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Exploitation of Renewable & Non-Renewables Natural Resources & the Environment (Topic)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134012522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
