USING SOLAR POWERED CHARGER TO ENHANCE THE USAGE OF MOBILE DEVICES IN OFF GRID AND UNSERVICED REGIONS OF THE WORLD
The availability of stable power supply has been a challenge in most developing countries with so many not meeting up to one -tenth of their national demands .In the midst of these challenges are the issues such as having minute power sources that can charge mobile phones battery, smartphones ,tablets and the likes.Take case of a country like Nigeria with huge population in the region of over 160 million that presently generates between 4000W to slightly over 5000W at peak.Bulk of these populations in Nigeria and many other developing countries resides in the rural areas .In Nigeria because of the innovation from the ministry of agriculture and natural resources whereby the farmers has to be contacted through their mobile phones on information about their request and supply of farm inputs from the ministry thereby eliminating the issues of middleman ship. Some of these farmers spend the meager resources at their disposal paying to have their phones battery charged commercially ,others traveled several kilometers to have their phones charged , all these are done so that they could keep their communication line open.others used their phones to receives information about market trend with respect to their farm produce so that they can be kept abreast of development in their environments .From all i have explained so far it is clear that one way to reduce these numerous challenges is the use of solar powered mobile phone charger , on the average a good solar powered mobile phone charger cost between $7 to $9. This will be extremely useful to our rural dwellers and fortunately for us in Africa the issue of adequate sunshine is not an issue.To make acquisition easier rural dwellers can come together in cooperatives and then get these products and distributes to their members.

Harnessing the hyroelectric potential of Nigeria
Shown above is the mambilla power project located in Taraba north eastern Nigeria .This projected which is being handled by the Chinese is one of the several projects being undertaken by the Chinese in Nigeria When completed it is expected to generate about 4000W which is quite impressive,because currently the total power generation which at times fluctuates between 4000W to something close to 5000W and some times fluctuates below 4000W. If this amount can be generated from a single hydro power project then it is very important for the Government to do all within its power to make sure it harnesses all the available resources in this regard constantly maintaining the existing hydro power plants .
