UNN Signs Partnership Framework Agreement with the West African Power Pool (WAPP)

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka has signed a ground-breaking partnership agreement with the West African Power Pool (WAPP). The signing ceremony was held on June 13^th, 2022, at the Headquarters of WAPP, in Cotonou, Benin Republic. The MOU was signed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Charles A. Igwe, representing UNN while the Secretary General of WAPP, Engr. Siengui A. Ki, signed on behalf of WAPP. The purpose of the Framework Agreement is to define the legal framework for the establishment of a formal partnership between the WAPP and the UNN in order to conduct joint capacity building, research and development projects in the areas of Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and the Electricity Market for the benefit of key stakeholders in the power and industrial sectors of West African countries.

In his remarks during the signing ceremony, the Secretary General of WAPP expressed confidence in the ability and capacity of UNN to partner with the WAPP to deliver solution to the West African sub-regions, especially in skills acquisition and training of high-level workforce. On the other hand, the Vice-Chancellor of UNN thanked the Secretary General of WAPP and his management team for finding UNN worthy of collaboration and partnership based on the principles of solidarity and responsibility, shared interest and mutual respect, transparency and sustainability in the implementation of joint training and research projects. He assured the Secretary General that UNN has the requisite expertise and capacity to implement the terms of the partnership agreement, which include, among others:

1. the capacity building of the staff of WAPP and its member utilities,
2. support from UNN to WAPP Regional Training Centres (RTCs) in the development and implementation of training and certification programmes,
3. provision of expert and specific solutions on research topics at the request of WAPP or on UNN’s initiative.

The Vice-chancellor further expressed happiness that the agreement provides for WAPP to, among other things, assist UNN students’ internship within WAPP member utilities and/or within the WAPP general Secretariat, welcome UNN postgraduate students for practical training as well as contribute to the improvement of academic training given at UNN in line with the needs of the electricity sub-sector market.

The Vice-Chancellor specially commended the Centre Leader (Principal Investigator) of the Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Power and Energy Development (ACE-SPED), Engr. Prof. Emenike C. Ejiogu and his management team for initiating discussion with WAPP more than eighteen (18) months ago and, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, painstakingly maintained strategic contact, respectively with the WAPP Centre of Excellence in Nigeria, that is, the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), Abuja and the WAPP, that eventually led to the successful conclusion of the partnership framework agreement.

It may be noted that the West African Power Pool (WAPP) is a specialized scientific and technological agency of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), created by Decision A/DEC.5/12/99 of the Twenty-Second Summit of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, in 1999, with the mission to promote and develop power generation and transmission infrastructures as well as to coordinate power exchange among the ECOWAS Member states.

2022 INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC CONFERENCE, THESIS DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR, HOME-COMING AND LAUNCH OF THE DEVELOPMENT STUDIES PROFESSIONALS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA

ORGANISED BY THE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (IDS)

UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA ENUGU CAMPUS

Theme

The Africa We Want: Exploring the Path to Self-sufficiency, Competiveness and Home-Grown Development

Date

12-14^th July 2022

Venue

CBN Centre for Economics and Finance, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus

Time

9 am – 6 pm each day

BACKGROUND

Africa has enormous potentials, given the human and material resources the continent is endowed with. The demographic composition of the continent is an asset, with the youth constituting over 60% of the continent’s population. As of 2015, Africa accounted for 19% of total youth population in the world and is projected to account for 42% of world’s youth population by 2030. The teeming youth population implies that the continent would harness demographic dividends, if it invests in the youth.

What is more? Sixty percent of world’s arable land is in Africa. Yet, the continent remains a net importer of food and afflicted by hunger, disease and poverty. Africa is home to the largest number of poor people, accounting for two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor population. As of 2018, an estimated 433 million (or 40 percent) of Africans live below the US$1.90-a-day poverty line.

The situation of youth unemployment, hunger and poverty interacts with violent conflict and governance deficit across the continent, making the problem complex and grossly undermining the possibilities of African development. The 2020 Index of African Governance revealed that in 2019 the African average governance score declined for the first time over the decade. The report notes that “countries have shown concerning declines in Participation, Rights & Inclusion (-1.4) and Security & Rule of Law (-0.7). Here, a deteriorating security situation and an increasingly precarious environment for human rights and civic participation are the primary drivers.”

Meanwhile, with an estimated population of size of 2 billion by 2050, and contemporary challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which have further weakened fragile economies and retrogressed development in some sectors, there is the need to bring to the front burner conversation on the path to self-sufficiency for African countries, increased competiveness of African economies and strategies for home grown development that would translate to the Africa We Want by 2063.

Various continental initiatives have been enunciated to address the complex challenges facing Africa and put the continent on the path of self-sufficiency while also making its economy competitive in the global political economy. More recently the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) was launched by Africans. The AfCFTA is said to be the largest trade agreement to take effect since the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Experts argue that AfCFTA holds tremendous potentials for Africa’s development. For instance, it is estimated that implementing the AfCFTA will increase the volume of intra-African trade by 81% by 2035, and increase the volume of total African exports by29%. Similarly, in January 2015, the Africa Agenda 2063 – The Africa We Want, was adopted as the basis for Africa’s long-term socio-economic and integrative transformation. The Agenda 2063 is in line with the Pan African vision of an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens, representing a dynamic force in the international arena to which the African Union (AU) rededicated herself on the occasion of the golden jubilee in May 2013.

However, the key questions remain inter alia: What are the threats to actualization in the Africa we want and the potentials of AfCFTA? How can Africa utilize existing continental platforms and agreements as springboards for actualization of self-sufficient, competitive economy with homegrown development?
