Pmb To Reaffirm Nigeria Right To Use Nuclear Energy In Washington Summit by dewale2k: 4:39pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
PRESIDENT BUHARI TO REAFFIRM NIGERIA'S RIGHT
TO USE NUCLEAR ENERGY FOR DEVELOPMENT AT
WASHINGTON SUMMIT
President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja for
Washington DC tomorrow, Wednesday, March 30,
2016 to join President Barack Obama and about 60
other world leaders and heads of international
organisations at the 4th Nuclear Security Summit
which opens there on Thursday.
At plenary sessions of the summit which is
dedicated to reinforcing international commitment
to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons,
President Buhari will insist that while Nigeria will
continue to sustain that commitment, world powers
must respect the right of other countries to the
peaceful use of nuclear energy for development
purposes.
The President will reaffirm Nigeria's stance that
international efforts to ensure greater security of
nuclear materials should maintain a balance
between nuclear non-proliferation obligations and
the indisputable right of Nigeria and other
countries to harness nuclear energy and
technology for socio-economic development.
It will be recalled that at a meeting with him in
Abuja earlier this month, President Buhari told the
Director-General of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Mr. Yukiya Amano that the Federal
Government will welcome greater support from the
agency for Nigeria's aspiration to begin the
generation of electricity with nuclear energy.
While in Washington DC for the Nuclear Security
Summit, the President and his delegation which
includes Governor Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi
State, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey
Onyeama, the National Security Adviser, Maj.-Gen.
Babagana Monguno (rtd.) and the Director-General
of Nigeria's Nuclear Regulatory Agency, Prof
Lawrence Anikwe Dim, will also hold bilateral
meetings with other participating Heads of
Government and high-ranking United States
Government officials.
President Buhari will depart Washington DC for
Abuja on Sunday. SOURCE Femi Adesina Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) March 29, 2016 |
