5.3 RECOMMENDATION
This should be given a special priority in that, it would help
the government of general Seyni Kountché' to properly carry our policies
and for effective implementation. It will go a long way in correcting some
economic its inherent in the Nigerien state due to the boom of uranium in the
years 1980s.
For the purpose of fostering economic growth and development.
IT ranges from the following suggestions:
There should be effective policies and implementation in
elation to the industrial sector. This would help remove the reliance on
foreign (French) Industrial facility.
There should be an effective link between the agriculture and
livestock and uranium sector by diversifying the economy.
There should be negotiation with France in order to build the
Kandadji dam, which can supply Niger hydroelectric power to be free from
acquiring electricity in Nigeria and which can help for the irrigated cultures
and maybe Niger will supply other countries electricity.
France might encourage Niger to produce nuclear energy from
its uranium.
Government of Niger should increase the revenue allocation to
the producing communities, where uranium is located.
There should be a «Uranium Trust Fund», which can
help the population in improving education, having good water supply, health
care delivery, roads construction, etc.
Government should pursue a policy aimed at securing a fair
deal for the country from the uranium companies, since the major players are
French foreigners.
There should be non-personal rule in Niger during
Kountché's era (dictatorship), which based on personal decision-making
(only CMS members were allowed in the decision making).
