 Now, the Chairman, House Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, Benny La, has charged the energy sector on the need to explore the vast opportunity and renewable energy to better the lots of Nigerians. Unable La gave the charge during the 2022 budget defense session of the Energy Commission and six other research centers under it. Emanuel Ehidjian's report is also presented from our studios. The Chairman of the Committee, Emanuel Ben-Elah, said there will be two opportunities in the renewable energy sector will boost energy generation in the country, as well as further develop skills and improve minds and livelihood of Nigerians. He charged the Energy Commission to explore the renewable energy sector as an area to improve energy efficiency. Nigeria can no longer afford to shelf its expertise that can empower and be beneficial to our teeny-hute, unemployed populace. The Director-General of the Energy Commission, Benjamin Professor Ehidjian, while presenting a total sum of 9.7 billionaires as the budget for the agency for the 2022 fiscal year, said the Commission is looking at alternative sources to improve energy supply for the country. We will also post the annual Science and Technology Expo held by the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, which we protect. We will have the National Energy Summit next year at a forum where we have a stakeholder to discuss issues. Members of the Committee have objected to the lamping of the 2022 budget of the agency together with the six research centers stating that it will affect the performance of the centers. The centers seems to have been lumped together with the agency's headquarters. This has not been the practice. Usually every center you have your super-energy refresh center, you have legal, there are many defense centers. The lamping together of the budgets for all the centers, but I'm sure I think it is very disingenuous. If as a parliament we allow it to stand, it smacks the service to the country, Nigeria. And we have the powers to actually make this proposal, this deal become an act. Members advised the Commission to engage more in environmental friendly projects that will impact on the country to encourage other African countries to tap in. The Committee will meet the National Food Science and Technology in its next sitting. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
