Abuja – The Federal Government says it has begun the recruitment of 500 qualified engineers for the effective running of the nation’s 10 new power plants.

Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti made this known to State House correspondents after a meeting of the Board of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo in Abuja on Friday.

Fayemi, who is also a member of the board, said the exercise was meant to address the critical challenge of lack of skilled manpower in the nation’s power sector.

He said that lack of skilled manpower was threatening the smooth take off and operations of the new power plants built across the country.

”We also looked at the National Power Training Institute (NAPTI), all of these plants are coming on stream and we are excited about them.

“But one critical challenge that the country faces is the lack of skilled manpower for managing the plants.

“We do not want to have plants that turned out to be white-elephant or they turned out to be run by Chinese, Germans and Europeans who have built the plants.”

The governor frowned at the quality of engineers being produced by the nation’s universities and polytechnics, saying that such engineers were not employable in the power sector.

He, however, stated that NAPTI had since commenced massive retraining programme for local engineers and artisans who might be redeployed to operate the new power plants.

“You all know, I’m not telling you anything new, we have engineers being produced by our universities that are not necessarily employable and you need to retrain them in order for them to be able to function in these new plants that are being built.

“And NAPTI is intended to fill this gap by helping to retrain many of the engineers as well as artisans who will be needed to fill the gaps that are bound to exist in the new power plants that are being set up.

“So, we received the report from NAPTI Executive and from the ministry of power on our own interest and contribution.

“And a range of things were discussed in ensuring that those who come on stream, about 500 people are being recruited now to undergo training in NAPTI.

“And in addition to that, we need to ensure that this is done professionally through open advertisement, but also being mindful of spread and federal character in the course of this recruitment. ”

Fayemi commended the General Electric (GE) Company for building a local plant in Calabar for the production of spare parts for the nation’s power plants.

“We are asking all the manufacturers to take a cue from GE and set up plants here.”

He condemned the recent attack on one of the power plants in Delta, saying the incident had impacted negatively on the government target of energising 4000 megawatts by the end of the year.

“I’m sure you are aware of the attack on one of the plants in Delta State and the impact that might have on our earlier promise.

“We are still very confident that we will deliver according to the promise.” (NAN)

Three university lecturers on Thursday
expressed mixed feelings over the
ongoing scandalous results from a recent
Nigeria Nationwide League (NNWL)
Division 4 competition.
The three lecturers are: Akinfenwa Oluseye and
Onyeka Ubaka of the Mathematics Department,
University of Lagos and Ismail Raji(also a
Mathematician) of the University of Ibadan's
Department of Educational Management.
According to them, while it is mathematically
impossible, it is statistically possible to score as
many as 78 goals within 45 minutes in a match,
Akinfenwa Oluseye, a specialist in Mathematics,
told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos:
"it is mathematically impossible to score as many
as 78 goals in 45 minutes during a football
match.
"Mathematically speaking, it is impossible to score
78 goals under 45 minutes because 45 minutes
multiplied by 60 seconds equals 2,700 seconds,
and the 2,700 should be divided by the 78 goals
scored.
"That means that in the second half, a goal was
scored every 34 seconds for them arrive at that
score line.
"Considering the speed of the players, the field of
play and the short jubilation by players, one can
round it up to 39 seconds per goal and if you do
the mathematics again, you will find that it's not
possible.
"That means you will have 39 seconds to score
every other goal, which isn't remotely possible,
because you can't be that fast. Oluseye also
notes: "assuming it's the fastest man on earth
picking the balls and returning it to the centre, it
still doesn't sum up".
He added that even if the opponents were mere
statues, the goals would not total 146 goals in all.
"It is a match between two opponents and even if
one wasn't present at the pitch, one cannot even
score up to that number of goals because the ball
has to be passed between the players".
Ubaka, a specialist in statistics, on other hand,
said: "from a statistical point of view, it is possible
to score 79 goals and above in a match.
"Football is a game of chance, the probability of
scoring as many as 100 goals is not impossible;
chances are that the players are not good or they
are not standard players.
"Maybe, within the first half, the coach studied
their opponents' weaknesses and capitalised on
the slightest mistake to shoot at target.
"If the goalkeeper is not good, it is possible to
score 10 goals under a minute. Statistics and
probability prove that it is possible to score as
many goals and even more than 100 goals within
that duration," Ubaka said.
Raji, of the University of Ibadan's Department of
Educational Management, said: "It is possible but
there may be some conspiracy. There is a
tendency for that, but a team can score as many
as 80 goals.
"They can score a goal every 30 seconds. A ball
can travel from one end of a pitch under a minute
and if the winning team is not wasting time, it can
score as many goals as possible".
Plateau Feeders and the Police Machines FC, in an
apparent bid to win the two slots for promotion
from Division 4 to Division 3 of the NNWL may
have connived to achieve the scandalous goals, in
order to put their qualification beyond question.
Plateau United Feeders had defeated Akurba FC of
Nassarawa, 79-0, while Police Machines defeated
Bubayero of Gombe, 67-0. All four clubs have
been banned indefinitely by the Nigeria Football
Association.

Skye Bank Plc has donated a N600m state-of-the-
art Information and Communication Technology
centre to the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-
Ife, Osun State.

The Group Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer of the bank, Mr. Kehinde Durosinmi-Etti,
handed over the centre to the Vice Chancellor,
OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole, on Tuesday.

Built on the campus of the university, the 700-
seater centre, according to Durosinmi-Etti, will
expand the frontiers of education and aid learning.

He said N150m was spent on the construction of
the centre, while N450m was used for
procurement and installation of equipment.

Omole said the centre would be utilised to
harness modern technology for effective and
efficient learning, and research.

"The problem of large classes will soon be a thing
of the past as lecturers and students can interact
real-time online," Omole said.

Durosinmi-Etti, on his part, said, "It is our desire
to support causes that are of benefit to aid the
extension of the frontiers of education.

"The application of information technology in our
education has assumed a more important
dimension as it confers several advantages."

Speaking on the occasion, the Pro Chancellor,
OAU, Prof. Rowland Ndoma-Egba, said, "With
this magnanimity from Skye Bank, the university
should maintain its lead in ICT education with a
view to developing software that are
technologically advanced, but purposely
indigenous.

"OAU is coming to a point that we should be able
to produce indigenous computers, iPads, iPods
and other gadgets to address the challenges
facing Nigeria."

The ICT centre has a tele-presence unit; cloud
computing laboratory; software studio and
Internet access laboratory.

Am a big supporter of Gej but i have to say that the writer of the article is right. The damage done by the wife of the president has cost the president alot and he needs to call the wife,sit her down and put her in her place. Enough is enough

If Na so. This one na clear victory for GEJ.

Na wa oh why wont these Apc of a party find another candidate or are they trying to say that apart from buhari they dont have any better candidate.

What happened to fashola,oshiobaba,rochas
why play games with something as important as these. Well I guess they are not ready to enter Aso rock.
