Nigerian Engineering and Infrastructure Development Scorecard The Basics | Agriculture & Food Security Agriculture

Nigerian Engineering and Infrastructure Development Scorecard The Basics | Agriculture & Food Security Agriculture Nigeria has placed fresh emphasis on the agriculture sector in its efforts to generate broad-based growth, diversify the economy away from hydrocarbons, create jobs, and achieve food security. A flurry of new policies and programs have been unveiled, aimed at both smallholder farmers and large producers. These efforts have been given more urgency by the slump in global oil prices and the drain on foreign currency reserves caused by the crippling cost of food imports. However, implementation has been uneven, partly because the government’s rhetoric about the importance of agriculture has not been matched by a significantly 90 113 larger budget commitment.

Nigerian Engineering and Infrastructure Development Scorecard The Basics | Mining Nigeria mining industry is

Nigerian Engineering and Infrastructure Development Scorecard The Basics | Mining Nigeria mining industry is largely informal and is fraught with the use of crude equipment and extremely dangerous working practices. It is estimated that about 80% to 85% of current mining activities in Nigeria is via artisanal and small scale mining. With several issues affecting the Ajaokuta Steel Company which was built to provide raw materials to other similar industries like the Jos, Katsina, Osogbo and Delta steel rolling mills, the productivity of these rolling mills have also been hampered. The Government had recently reclaimed the Ajaokuta Steel Company after an initial concessional agreement with investors failed to kick start the company’s steel production while also giving a concession of the Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company to private investors The ministry of mining recently launched a roadmap that would catapult Nigeria from a mineral rich nation to a mineral mining and - processing country; adding up to $27 billion to Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 2025.

Repositioning Engineering in Nigeria for greater impact

Repositioning Engineering in Nigeria for greater impact

Consolidation of engineering organizations to increase financial and technical capability The main limitation for

Consolidation of engineering organizations to increase financial and technical capability The main limitation for Nigerian engineering firms is their relatively low scale of operations. Scale drives capacity hence this has resulted in a shortage of capacity required to execute projects. This is further compounded by the increasing pressure on engineering firms to accelerate product time-todelivery time, deliver more high-quality products to market orproject customers and reduce overall costs This has led to a situation where most of the large and complex projects are executed bymultinational companies. The current efforts to bridge the infrastructure gap is an opportunity to create more sophisticated and highly capable engineering firms. Thrusts Adopt Consolidation Seek Corporate Financing for scaling up Create large state owned engineering firms 71% Number of global engineering firm CEOs think the pace of consolidation in the engineering industry will increase over the next decade >50% 59% Number of global engineering firm CEOs that expect consolidation to increase in the construction industry Number of global engineering firm CEOS that see consolidation as the most significant force affecting the engineering and construction industry over the next 10 years Smaller engineering firms should consider merging their business with larger entities (locally or internationally) which have more substantial systems and resources in place. Strategically, consolidation allows companies to shift engineering capacity more readily to meet the engineering resources requirements across their business Nigerian construction firms need to consider corporate financing options to build the required capacity and remain competitive. The increasing interest of private equity firms and corporate buyers in the sector will seem to support this view and create the required access to funds required to build the required capacity The Nigeria government can encourage the consolidation or the creation of state-owned Giant Local Engineering companies. This is currently done in China under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) which performs investor's responsibilities, supervises and manages the state-owned assets of enterprises under the supervision of the Chinese Central Government.

Local Content and Skills Transfer Major projects led by large multinational companies there is a need to review indigenous engineering participation and skills transfer and clearly define and monitor opportunities for engineers. Nigerian engineers now wait an average of four years after graduation before getting their first jobs Import Preference Foreign Company Preference More than 300 textile Mills have closed + down and Nigeria now relies upon massive importation of finished textile products Major firms in the rubber/tyre industry have moved to S. Africa, Ghana etc. and car assembly plants have either closed or a working at low installed capacity ratio = many young people are no longer interested in joining the engineering profession Thrusts Increase Project engineering/consultancy works and enhance knowledge transfer and partnership between the local and foreign companies and build the required local capacity. The Nigerian railway rehabilitation/expansion projects and the airport terminal projects should provide learning and partnering access to Indigenous Companies Increased Import Limitation/ Substitution Local content act should be reviewed to include additional sectors and industries. This will ensure that Nigerian companies participate in strategic platforms for the Nigerian engineers There is a need for Government formulation and implementation of national infrastructure maintenance strategy for government assets The success of import substitution in the cement industry should provide a platform for other industrial sectors to increase local production and For goods currently manufactured in Nigeria should compete favourably with their imported counterparts in order to limit consumption of imported reduce over-reliance of imported products. goods while boosting local manufacturing Copyright © 2017 Accenture All rights reserved. 23

Remodel Engineering Education Budgetary Allocation (FY 17) Human capital shortfall in Nigeria requires immediate

Remodel Engineering Education Budgetary Allocation (FY 17) Human capital shortfall in Nigeria requires immediate attention. Nigeria today produces an annual average of 3, 500 engineers from universities and polytechnics. For a country of 170 million people, the number is exceedingly small, and such engineering graduates cannot find jobs to hone their skills Leverage Exchange Programs Increase Specialized Technical Schools Grants/ Scholarships Promote study and 6% impact on innovation and competitiveness. UNESCO recommended that the government should allocate about 25 per cent of annual budgets to education Redefine the Nigeria Engineering curriculum to focus on relevant and modern industry skills and topics There is a need to devote more time to practical knowledge, internship, professional mentorship for Engineers in Nigeria Universities. This will expose the engineer early enough to the industry realities and ensure a better rounded engineer with industry relevant skills on graduation from the university. For instance, internship can be 3 months per year of the 5 years spent in school instead of only during year 3 or year 4 of undergraduate studies Encourage Universities to setup exchange programs (for both students and lecturer) and teaching & research relationships with more advanced Universities abroad to enable exchange of ideologies and provide access to learning assets from more advanced countries. Promote private participation in setting up technical schools and hubs. e. g. The Samsung Engineering Academy which is pioneered by Samsung is focused on developing young skilled technicians across Africa, Nigeria inclusive. More partnership of this nature will be required to close the technology/engineering skill gap Increase Funding Increase Student Nigeria, so far does not invest sufficiently in vital 21 st century skills and this has a serious 25% Thrusts Redefine the Engineering curriculum Nigeria Way Behind… Increase education budget funding especially for science and engineering schools Encourage private sector participation in setting up grants and donations towards colleges and universities. The federal government of Nigeria has 3 scholarship schemes currently (PTDF scholarships program, Bilateral Educational Agreement Oversea Scholarships and the Scholarships Tenable in Nigeria Tertiary Institutions). These schemes can be expanded and recipients should be mandated to return and take up engineering jobs in the public/ private sector. Reengineering education should also be use of local cassava instead of imported wheat resources Copyright © 2017 Accenture All rights reserved. about looking at using our local resources/minerals e. g. cassava instead of imported wheat for flour, for beer 24

Develop capability in modern engineering practices and technology - Increase investment in research and development (1/3) The Lisbon Strategy, the EU’s manifesto for maintaining the region’s economic competitiveness and growth, recommends that a total of 3% of GDP be invested in R&D. To meet the Lisbon Strategy proposals, the Nigerian government will have to budget N 2. 04 trillion. This implies a direct correlation between R&D funding and economic development Expenditures for R&D (% of GDP) 2005 -15 2013 2005 -15 Nigeria 39 3654 0. 22 USA 4019 412, 542 2. 73 S.

Develop Capability in Modern Engineering Practices and Technology - Promote Innovation (2/3) Innovation willnot happen accidentally! *Nigeria is currently ranked 114/ 126 in the Global Innovative Index Ranking (with a global innovative index of 23. 1) of much of the global Technology innovation has been the stimulus and catalyst 20 years economic advances over the last and India that have put technology squarely at the Countries such as the US, Nordics, have been outstandingly successful center of their strategy for progress innovation capabilities to be able to challenges, increaseitscompetitiveness and create future welfare Nigeria will need to spend more to improve address global societal Thrusts *Source: 2016 Global Innovation Index Develop strategy to promote innovation and use of new technology in all sectors of the economy including government (Automation/ Put technology at the heart of economic development Encourage closer working relationships between business and universities computerization of government processes) Create grants to promote innovative ventures Attract Young Innovative Companies (YICs) to setup shop in Nigeria by improving the ease of doing business through streamlined registration and regulation processes and tax incentives Encourage closer ties between academia and industry and allowing universities to commercialize the results of research projects. This will significantly boost the number and quality of innovative ideas and products entering the local economy. Like we have seen done in Israel, most of the Security firms came from the Military and the University system Encourage businesses to sponsor university students and provide vocational education, the levels of employability and skills in Nigeria. This will increase significantly. Harnessed in this way, the expertise of foreign multinational companies (MNCs) can be more easily transferred to the local workforce. Protect innovation & Lawmakers can improve the image and prospects of local companies by passing legislation that enforces high standards of quality and safety, and that protects the intellectual property of those who develop innovative products and services from those who seek to intellectual property produce inferior imitations through rule of law 26

Develop Capability in Modern Engineering Practices and Technology - Promote use of new technology

Develop Capability in Modern Engineering Practices and Technology - Promote use of new technology (3/3) Global Trends The adoption of new existing technology is one way the Nigerian Engineering Industry can continue to grow at a similar pace with its more advanced foreign counterparts. - Intelligent Plants: The use of Internet of Things (Io. T) to develop smart plants has been used increasingly globally to reduce response times to issues and predict failures in equipment. Current new technologies are able to harness the expanding power of the web to link different machines using sensors and computers. - 3 D Printing: This technology has significantly reduced cost and time of production. Recently, a 400 sq. feet house was built in 24 hours using 3 D printing. The cost of this was only $10, 000. These devices provide more precision and can translate collected data into insights that help create better outputs. - Automation: Repetitive jobs as well as some specialized jobs have been taken over by machines in the manufacturing industry. This reduces cost, eliminates human error and speeds up the production process by close to 30% Thrusts Funding for New Technology Procurement Import Tariff Rationalization Tax Concessions A special low interest loan fund can be created specifically for companies looking to shore up their technology/ machinery capabilities through procurement of these capabilities. These companies would display the required competence and capacity in the use of the technology/machine. This fund can be in the form of a subsidy Low import tariffs should be set for new technology/ machinery brought into the country by engineering/ manufacturing companies. Companies should be encouraged to upgrade their machinery and technology through tax holidays/ lower taxes. These tax concessions would help these companies to recover from their investments faster. 27

Increase Funding for Infrastructural Development Infrastructure funding by Government, relative to the country's infrastructure

Increase Funding for Infrastructural Development Infrastructure funding by Government, relative to the country's infrastructure needs is rather small. Therefore, the private sector has a prominent role to play in financing infrastructure development particularly, through Public Private Partnership (PPP). Involving the private sector will not only bring about financing opportunities, but also human capacity development, leveraging modern technology and global best practices to deliver value to society. Thrusts Leverage Special funds Encourage more PPP partnership financial closure since 1990 824 41 India Nigeria *PPP projects either under construction or in operation 797 37 India Nigeria The Nigeria Government has recently launched an Eurobond as part of a funding strategy for infrastructure. Other bonds of this nature can be promoted to generate funds specifically for critical large infrastructure projects. Purpose Bonds Leverage Pension *PPP projects that have reached Pension assets in Nigeria was valued at N 5. 8 trillion as at July 2016. A substantial part of this funds can be used for infrastructure projects to grow infrastructure assets Infrastructure projects in Nigeria can be funded by Public Private Partnership (PPP) using any of the different PPP model. Currently from the Nigeria 2017 budget, infrastructure projects are funded by government generated revenues (taxes, export revenues, external borrowing) Create specialized Bank for Engineering and Infrastructure Development Consider creating a specialized Bank to support Engineering, just like in China with China Construction Bank (CCB) Corporation which is one of the "big four" banks in the People's Republic of China (In 2015 CCB was the 2 nd largest bank in the world by market capitalization and 6 th largest company in the world). *Source: World Bank PPP Knowledge Lab 28
