Dear Walter:

(1) Many thanks for your phone call the other day.

I have received a copy of the following from Harold and edited it a bit;

W. G. Ollor and T. Utsumi;
"Creation of Global University System in Nigeria (GUS/Nigeria)," November 10, 2008
http://tinyurl.com/62fcnp

This is an excellent concept paper.  For your further revision, I am attaching its MS/WORD file to this msg;
<CREATION OF GLOBAL UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN NIGERIA_v2.doc>



(2) I hope that, with this concept paper, you and Peter would succeed on raising a fund for organizing a workshop in your Niger Delta region to be held next May, for creating GUS/Nigeria and start participating GCEPG/GSEEED projects.

(a) "Globally Collaborative Environmental Peace Gaming (GCEPG)"

(b) Quantitative Policy Analysis of Global Socio-Economic-Energy-Environment Development (GSEEED) Project

(i) Synopsis

(ii) Concept Paper

(3) As mentioned in the concept paper of Item (2)-(b)-(ii) above, Former Vice President and Nobel Peace Laureate, Mr. Al Gore recently proposed to replace fossil fuel with renewable one to generate electricity in the USA in ten years <http://tinyurl.com/66sk9d>.

As you may know, about 40% of electricity generated at the U.S. power plants utilizes oil from Nigeria, thanks to its low sulfur content.  Also, 40% of oil produced in your Niger Delta region comes to the U.S.

If Mr. GoreÕs audacious scheme would succeed, Japan (which does not produce almost any oil) would follow the U.S. model — incidentally, 16% of your Niger Delta oil goes to Japan, Korea and China, -- obviously, Japan to be the largest importer among them.

In other words, if his scheme would succeed with the proliferation of wind-, solar- and geothermal energy to replace the oil use for electricity generation, your Nigeria would be in a big trouble of lessening oil revenue.

As you are the National Chair of the National Consortium for Energy Research and Development (NCERD) for promoting the accelerated use of renewable energy for national development, your Nigerian peoplesÕ joining in our GCEPG/GSEEED project would be most appropriate, not only to test the viability of his scheme in the US, but also its consequences to the economies of various countries.

(4) When you contact with possible funding sources, pls make sure to include the possibility of creating an operator trainer for refinery and ethylene plant, which is PeterÕs strong interest — see Reference (f) below.

Dear Carl, Sunil and Harold:
At our next mtg (whenever Sunil would be available), I would like to discuss how to help WalterÕs people and students on this project, in addition to some e-learning course offerings to them from your Polytechnic Institute of NYU.


(5) ATTACHMENT I below is the collections of our previous discussions.  If appropriate, pls feel free to utilize any portion of them for your contacts to high officials in Nigeria.

Best, Tak
