Uranium found in 6 States
WORLD highly valued uranium has been
found in six states of the country, placing
the nation's economy in a vantage position
for further growth.
The six states are Cross River, Adamawa,
Taraba, Plateau, Bauchi and Kano, a
document from the Federal Ministry of
Solid Minerals Development has said.
According to the document, "an inventory
of solid minerals potentials," made
available to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) yesterday in Abuja, the uranium find
was by the Atomic Energy Division of the
Geological Survey of Great Britain.
Ministry sources told NAN that the highly
sourced and priced radioactive mineral
could be second to oil in revenue
generation when fully exploited.
Uranium is used to produce nuclear energy
and also as a fuel for nuclear reactors and
nuclear weapons.
According to studies, not many countries of
the world are endowed with the radioactive
mineral, which makes it highly priced and
of high value.
The valued mineral which was mainly
obtained from the ore uranite, occurred in
small bodies of granite containing
pyrochlore with 3.3 per cent uranium
oxide, 3.3 per cent, thorium oxide and 41.1
per cent niobium and tantalum oxides,

If this zoo get sense,steady electricity would have been a past tense,but dnt worry, Biafra will handle it both militaryly and economically

Nigeria is indeed blessed. I can't think of any mineral resource that can not be found in Nigeria. We are stronger together than apart!

Even if they lay their hands on it, turning it into weapons grade uranium is another ball game entirely, so it will be useless to boko haram . However the economic potential is very huge for Nigeria because right now there is a huge tussle between USA and China for rare earths in Africa. Also there was a proposal for a nuclear power plant in akwa ibom, I hope they have not jettisioned the idea.
