2015 West Africa Power 2015 Summit

The West Africa Power 2015 Summit, took place on 16-17th June 2015, in Lagos, Nigeria. It brought together West African Governments, Regulators, Utilities and leading energy service companies to create a platform for debates and discussions on strategic issues which would attract and accelerate foreign investments in the power sector across West Africa.

This was the official website for the event, content is from the site's 2015 archived pages, and is course material for the Global Studies program under Professor Rudolff Collins. Site restoration and archiving was provided pro bono by TNG Earthling, with technical support managed by Bob Sakayama and Rev Sale.

Additional course materials and the reading list are available from Collins' office. It is the student's responsibility to gather information and data on commerce items:

-1- technology - computer chips manufactured in Africa only. Also current high tech topics such as legacy system integration needed to bring older systems into the modern age. Much of the big data and data science applications rely on state of the art applications, and the importance of legacy modernization is a major factor in achieving and maintaining higher levels of performance. Want the background of any factual data. Always use multiple resources.

-2- jewelry - not as precious metals, but as necklaces and silver and gold statement rings - wearable jewelry. We want to see the export of finished, high-end jewelry products. End stage products only.

-3- clothing - like jewelry, finished goods only, not fabric exports.
