Why Is It That In All The Southern States Only One Has Uranium Deposits by cybertyrant(m): 6:07pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
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, source:http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/1604-uranium-found-6-states-nigeria.html 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! |

Emmason505: 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. |
