Can the economy really be diversified through solid minerals exploration?

There had been so much talk about diversifying the Nigerian economy since crude oil price has fallen drastically in the international market. This development has affected the economy and brouhght untold hardship on the citizenry. One of the ways the present day government is looking at to diversify the economy is through solid mineral exploration. This is why the ministry of solid minerals has been on its toes, working tirelessly to come out with a solid minral that can serve as replacement for crude oil.

Can this really work? These solid minerals are they really in abundance? Abundant enough to satisfy us as well as as the international market. Remember, crude oil is found in the Niger delta wshich is almost an entire region comprising of Eight states namely Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-ibom, Cross river and Abia states. In these regions, crude oil is found both onshore and offshore.  Thus, it is abundant enough to cater for our energy needs as well as for exportation.

Solid minerals in the country are found in individual states. For instance, coal is found in Enugu, Tin in Jos plateau, Gold in Osun, salt in Nassarawa e.t.c. Non of these solid minerals expanse an entire region or Geo-political zone of the country. Only very few of them are really in abundance to earn foreign exchange.

Previous dispensations were aware of these solid minerals but never thought of exploring them because it would be futile effort. Let the truth be told! The only viable means of diversifying the economy is through agriculture.

A plan to monopolize the telecommunications industry in Nigeria

It is still very fresh in our memories the state of the nation when NITEL was the sole provider of telecommunications services in the country. It was monopoly at its zenith. Consumers never got value for their money and whoever dared to raise an objection was bullied into submission.
This monopolized situation almost rared up its ugly head with past leaderships of the Nigeria communications commission (NCC). A particular telecoms company took over the market power and almost pushed other companies out of business. The smaller telecos were the most hit by this development. It affected them to the point of shut down.
A monopolized sector of any economy is surely bound to fail. Monopoly brings about entrenchment. Consumers wriggle in pains in a monopolized environment while the monopolist smiles to the bank. Service delivery in a monopolized environment is nothing to write home about. Consumers never get value for their money and this creates an unhealthy relationship between the consumers and their customers.
However, placing monopoly and competition side by side, it is obvious that a competitive environment is better of and much more proactive. A competitive environment creates a level playing ground for all to thrive upon which leads to growth and development of the sector.
A competitive environment is characterized by choices. Consumers can choose their devices from an increasing list of manufacturers at constantly decreasing prices, choose their connectivity from a bouquet of offers with constantly decreasing prices and choose their applications from a collection of low cost or free options. Consumers get the best value for goods and services when there is competition. Even though many a time, it is to the detriment of the service provider who in order not lose customers to a rival company go extra miles to provide stress free customer service to address the needs of their subscribers. On the other hand, they must be able to maintain a healthy balance between competitive policies(to provide value for consumers), and policies aimed at ensuring that companies can continue to thrive and provide jobs, benefits to shareholders as well as tax revenue.

16 years of digital telecommunications in Nigeria

How time flies? It is already 16 years of the introduction of G.S.M communications in Nigeria. It was like yesterday when in 2001 the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) auctioned Digital Mobile Licenses which led to the birth of three mobile operators in the country. They are Econet wireless, now Airtel Nigeria, MTN and Mtel. Then came a fourth license in 2002 which brought Globacom Nigeria into limelight. Globacom was tagged as second national carrier to strengthen and increase the telecoms backbone infrastructure in the country.

When we thought it was all over, a fifth Digital Mobile License was issued to telecommunications giant from the middle east, Etisalat in 2008. Many saw Etisalat’s entry into the Nigeria market as rather late and wonder how its was going to catch with its already established counterparts. But Etisalat succeeded in proofing everybody wrong as it continued to grow from strength to strength attracting its own loyal customers. One fascinating quality of Etisalat which has been instrumental to it success is its ability to roll out unique offers and promos.

This past 16 years has been very eventful in the country’s telecommunications industry. G.S.M communications has redefined standards in the country. Unlike in the past, where telecommunications was reserved strictly for only the rich and wealthy in the society. Today, virtually all and sundry own a phone in the country. Even primary and secondary school pupils now parade phones of various types.

The telecommunications industry also gave a face lift to the Nigerian labor market by creating jobs for the teaming population of unemployed youths in the country. Also professionals from other walks of life switch over to the telecoms sector as operators offer mouth watering salaries that in some cases are better than those in the banking and oil and gas sectors.

Mobile phones too have evolved over the years from simple  Nokia 3310 to more sophisticated android, windows and Blackberry phones carrying higher functionality like camera, radio, internet connection e.t.c
