 Status Of Technological Capacity Building In The Indigenous Oilfield Servicing Firms In Nigeria Vis-a-vis Innovation Capability

 Jegede O.O., Aderemi H.O., Jesuleye O.A. And Siyanbola W.O. (2012)

 2007

This paper assessed the factors that promote technological capacity building in the indigenous oilfield servicing firms in Nigeria. This was with a view to providing information that will increase indigenous participation in the sector and value addition for the nation. The study used primary and secondary data sources. Structured questionnaire were administered in the firms. This was supplemented with shop-floor observation and interviews. The questionnaire elicited information on the factors influencing firms’ capacity for innovation in the sector. A total of 60 questionnaires were administered to the head of technical, finance and administration departments in the firms with 67% response rate. Secondary data were sourced from the internet and other publications. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics. The important factors that accounted for the firm’s technological capability (TC) included the qualification and experience of the heads of technical departments and extensive staff training. In conclusion, the most significant driver of TC building in the firms was the educational level of the head(S) of technical department(s).

 Clean Technologies As Mitigating Strategies Against The Potential Impacts Of Climate Change In 21st Century Nigeria

 Sanni M., Egbetokun A. A., Jesuleye O. A. And Siyanbola W. O. (2010):

 2004

Even though it is not yet certain how climate change will affect Nigeria, the recent changes in rainfall regime could be an indication of some of the challenges that we may face as we move into the 21st century. At present, ne Nigerian economy is largely dependent on fossil fuel, which is one of the biggest contributors or CO2 to the atmosphere. This paper discusses the potential impacts of climate change in Nigeria in the 21st century and how renewable energy can be changed to mitigate or adapt to its effects. Various obstacles to achieving sustainable renewable energy in terms of policy, technical and financial barriers are enumerated and the strategies that could be adopted to overcome them are also discussed. The paper concludes that adopting clean technologies should be of utmost importance in domestic energy strategies and these should be supported by governments and other stakeholders.

 Policy Influence Of Solar PV Diffusion Into The Nigerian Rural Energy Mix.

 Jesuleye O.A, Siyanbola W.O. And Ilori M.O. (2011)

 2004

The study in this chapter examined policy options for promoting solar PV diffusion into the energy mix of six selected remote villages that were pilot sites for national and foreign assisted solar electrification programs in three ecological regions of Nigeria. A total of 910 questionnaires were administered on the solar PV users, suppliers, and government agencies to elicit information on alternative energy sources for provision of energy services. The results showed that solar PV usage was 49.9 kWh per/day, which total requirement for energy services. The demand would rise to 73.3 kWh per/day by 2019 at the same 14% share of the total lighting requirement. Firewood demand maintained over 0 percent share (2585.5kWh per/day) in the total energy mix in 2009. It also revealed that the best policy option of 200 percent increase in solar bulbs’ share for lighting by 2014 would require 506 reduction in kerosene share.The Concluded that increasing utilization of solar PV for lighting, entertainment, refrigeration, and ventilation in the study areas could lead to decrease in the use of energy from alternative sources

 Coordination, Monitoring And Impact Evaluation Of Technology Incubators In Nigeria"

 Siyanbola W. O., Jesuleye O. A. Adelowo C.M. And Egbetokun A.A.

 2004

Technology business incubation is a programme mostly deployed by the nations of the world to promote the development of prototype technology nurturing them until they can compete successfully with the existing technology. The programme of incubation need be monitored, controlled, and evaluated to ensure that the objectives are achieved. This chapter discusses development of incubation in Nigeria, looking critically at the performances of the existing ones in terms of efficiency; effectiveness, relevance, utility and sustainability in order for them to really serve as agent of growth and development in this innovation disruptive world. This chapter concludes by giving various policy suggestions like that efficient management of the resources made available to the tenants, and that government should provide more facilities in order to accommodate more tenants among others.

 Empirical Analysis Of The Causal Relationship Between Electricity Consumption And Economic Growth In Nigeria

 Akinwale Y. O., Jesuleye O.A., Siyanbola W.O. (2013)

 2003

This paper investigates the relationship between electricity consumption and real GDP growth in Nigeria during a period of thirty SIX years (1970-2005). The paper adopts Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) and Error Correction Model (ECM) to test the causality between real GDP and electricity consumption. The order of Integration of the two variables was determined using Augmented DicKey Fuller (ADF) test which was followed by co-integration and causality test. The result shows that there is unidirectional causality from real GDP to electricity Consumption without a feedback effect. This could be attributed to the low level of electricity consumption, engendered level of electricity generation, which is too small to cause economic growth. There is need for government to diversity the energy mx to include all the untapped potential of renewable power options such as small hydro, wind, solar and biomass among others in all the states and local constituencies. Energy wastages should be curtailed through proper efficiency measures and different pricing system. It is also suggested that government should make policy which will create an enabling environment for private sector to generate electricity from renewable sources in terms of fiscal incentives such as tax rebate, subsidies and low import duties for the import equipment among others. Furthermore, there is a need to review the 2003 national energy Policy so as to come up with a Sound, robust and technological energy policy that will be able to solve the challenges of the electricity sector. Political commitment through investment in energy infrastructures and capacity building of the citizens in renewable energy technologies are critical towards the improvement of electricity generation, which could then cause electricity consumption to have a significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria.

 Emerging Technology Penetration: The Case Of Solar Electricity In Nigeria

 Jesuleye O. A., Siyanbola W. O. And Ilori M. O. (2010).

 2003

Considering the huge wastage associated with the present energy production and consumption pattern in Nigeria, solar electricity (SE) is acclaimed to be of great potentials as a viable alternative to fossil fuel and is being considered by policy makers to contribute to improving energy efficiency, security and environmental protection. The veracity of such claim is being ascertained in this study through analysis of solar electricity utilization for lighting, refrigeration, ventilation, water pumping and others by just 5% Nigerian rural dwellers who lack access to national grid. The study deduced that increase in rural access to SE will yield tremendous Carbon credits for Nigeria under the clean development mechanism and that generating more SE at cheaper cost will enhance policy support for green energy. This connotes a great future for microelectronics and nanotechnology in processing high efficiency multi-junction solar cells and Nano solar utility panel being optimized for utility-scale solar electricity systems
