Do we even understand the consequences of Nuclear power generation. We cannot manage small safety issues in Nigeria and we want to venture into nuclear energy. The hazard from sourcing, use and waste management is something we are presently not capable of handling. Do a check of the developed countries who use this as source of energy and see incidents that have happened in the past and see if we have the capacity to manage such incidents. Ordinary flood was a herculean task no talk of nuclear disaster. The coal in Enugu can generate energy enough to serve the entire country. I just pity the state where the nuclear plants would be sited. they can site them in Borno or Ogun

There only way out of this mess of light problem is
1) have a good gas master plan that would take gas to industrial Clusters... so that big companies can produce there own power supply
2) try to use all our resources in the hydro generation ( Brazil generated over 120000 mw from hydro why can't we get 20000 from ours)
3) the main power supply to the national grid should be based on coal fired plants this has the potential of giving us over 100000mw if well planned
4) a country as populated as ours on this small area of land must go nuclear.. .. We must build nuclear power plants to be able to generate 40% of our power out put, we have uranium and to get 10% to 15% enrichment required for the plant won't be hard.... we also have the brains, we have the Rivers
5) geothermal is also something I would advise but I honestly don't know our potential in this part.. .. for me I see it as the future

GreatEngineer:
We have coal,
We have vast natural gas,
We have water (hydro),

If we are serious as a country, why can't we generate enough power from these three sources.
Now we are talking of nuclear power plant when we can't even maintain hydro power plant. Hope we are not thinking of setting another time bomb in this country. Boko haram are still in operation.
Not in support of this because we are not ready as a country to manage nuclear plant though it is one of the best form of power generation.

babestella:
Our generation cap is about 7000MW, eight now we generate less than 1600MW, our transmission capacity is about 4000MW.
Even I we use nuclear power to generate 4000MW, how do we transmit same, I think our focus should be more with maximizing our current generation cap while expanding our transmission capacity, I hate when people put carts before the horse just to make news & speak English.

It's funny my brother walai... bring nuclear power into nigeria that doesn't have a maintenance culture. First where will it be located? They will want it near water so maybe lagos will do.

mamaafrik:
lagos cant be used for siting such,ennnnhhh,lagos ke,you remeber that single lagos blast,itz cost to the nation?,uranuim exist in gombe and adamawa,we need a place that is remote,away from people,security hoisted and near sea,and not too far from nation grid, Mahin or aiyetoro in Ondo state will be a good site.

magabounce:
Hmmmmm
It's pretty obvious we don't have future thinkers in dz country
Almost every forward thinking country has focused less on hydro and moved to nuclear power generation.
God bless Nigeria

codemaniacs:


All the resources u mentioned can't be found in the north... So it will not be considered.

Only southerners can develop those things but the fg will looks for ways to sabotage it or make sure it favors the north.

angels09:
God forbid. serious countries are shutting down nuke plants and going for clean energy. a country that cannot manage refineries....please install it in Kastina.

nnachukz:
Always "we will" "we shall" later buhari will deny ever saying nor hearing that. Zombies should wake me up when the statement reads "we have" . Campaign is over, they should stop buying this shit anymore.

MisterGrace:
This same present Government almost crucified the previous Government for trying to embark on this dangerous quest.
In any case of meltdown of the plant, radioactivity will destroy and kill many innocent Nigerians...

So much for hypocrisy.
