[size=18pt]Ogun to generate electricity from sawdust[/size]

The Ogun State Government says it plans to generate electricity from sawdust as part of its contribution towards increasing power supply in the country.

The Commissioner for Forestry, Chief Kolawole Lawal, stated this during a visit to sawmills in Ijebu-Igbo, Ijebu-East Local Government Area of the state.

Lawal was quoted as saying that the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation and Energy Commission of Nigeria, in collaboration with the state government, were working together to come up with a technology that would generate electricity from sawdust.

“The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, Electricity Commission of Nigeria and the state government are on a project now that will convert sawdust to energy,” he said.

The commissioner stated that the state government was currently carrying out a feasibility study on the project.

Lawal also called on the saw millers not to waste sawdust, adding that even though it was seen as a waste product, it would soon become a raw material for energy generation.

He also said the state government had established three new forest ranges in addition to the existing ones as part of its efforts to curb illegal logging activities in its forest reserves.

The commissioner noted that creating new ranges in areas such as Ijebu Igbo, Ago Iwoye and Molafara became imperative in order to forestall illegal felling of trees and to ensure proper policing of the forest reserves so as to stop the illegal exploitation of the state’s forest resources.

Lawal said, “It became imperative to create or establish some new forest ranges as majority of our trees are being illegally exploited and taken to neighbouring states.”

ahahahahha, even if you invest in Nigeria's sustainable power generation for 50 more years, it won't work. If something doesn't work for 50 years, common sense should tell you to try a different avenue.

“The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, Electricity Commission of Nigeria and the state government are on a project now that will convert sawdust to energy,” he said.

Had this been Obiana, you'd have singing praises. Don't worry, let UN and Ogun figure out the equations. In the meantime, continue to live in the darkness of Nigeria's 'power' generation wey dem don invest in for years.

Sawdust are bye product na which will always be derived so long there is a functioning sawmill

Except you want a collapse of the furniture industry which will lead to further unemployment

Sorry amosun, I don't subscribe to these words "To, I will, I shall, about to"

Action they say speaks louder than voice

Nice one

Ogun is catching up to Lagos...... make una document all your success before noisemakers claim na dem build Ogun
This is how Yorubas started with Lagos, using cocoa revenue to grow Lagos.

If it was Obiano that came up with this ideology, you'd have praised him from morning till night.

hmm

When they start generating, they should let us know, all this "to", "will" is insulting to people's intelligence, that is those that do not have sawdust as brain.

That's a good move from ogun state

Dumbasses everywhere in this country men, I'm sooooo tired.

Sawdust

Nothing is impossible through the mouths of Nigerian politicians.

Nice one all states need to be empowered to provide electricity for themselves and the issue of power shortage will reduce drastically

I have always believed that the govt dont want constant power supply for its country cos of the huge money they'll loss if stop fuelling our generators

Less talk and show working
