Quotes I thank Allah for every opportunity, every lesson and every blessing. As the Holy Qur’an reminds us in Surah Ash Sharh: “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” My prayer is for continued wisdom, humility, courage and sincerity in service, and that my remaining years will be devoted to serving Sierra Leone, advancing Africa’s development, strengthening regional integration, and leaving behind institutions stronger than I found them Women most often pay the highest price for energy poverty and the effects of such energy poverty can be seen most dramatically in health care, and especially in childbirth, where darkness can mean death, and where light can mean life. Primary health workers are struggling to provide care using candles, kerosene lanterns and torchlights. In many instances, they can’t even charge their cell phones for emergency calls at their work sites. We must end this. Increasing energy access will ensure healthier home environments and generate opportunities for women to earn a living for themselves and their families. sustainable energy for all isn’t just about poor countries: “It’s about you and me living in the first world, doing our share.” Another good news is that Africa is more popular today for forging new partnerships than ever before. In fact, it is obvious that there is a new scramble for Africa. Every major economy is trying to make a deal with one of your countries to own a piece of your real estate for minerals or agricultural production. The second one is to improve energy efficiency to be specific we want to double the annual rate of improvement of energy efficiency meaning that we want to reduce energy wastage which means that you would reduce how much power you have to generate and also implies that you will lower the emission Green House gases emissions that comes from power generation. Well solar and other renewable energy technologies will definitely help end energy poverty in Sierra Leone and in other African countries. They have significant solar radiation year round but they also have other renewable energy sources. Sierra Leone in particular has a number of rivers, big and small rivers that can be exploited for hydro power. Wind technology we are not so sure of there are some doubt about and so we have to carry out what we call wind mapping for countries like Sierra Leone.
