Russia has signed a deal to build two nuclear power plants in Nigeria, as Africa's largest economy seeks to end its energy crisis.
Russian state-owned company Rosatom will build one in the south, the other in the centre, sources at the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission told the BBC.

You woke up by 12am to type this?

So nuclear plant is an achievement?

Have you seen a nuclear plant disaster before?

Do you knw people close to where nuclear plants are located have high rate of cancer and deformity?

Did you hear of the Japanese nuclear plant disaster? Even a country like japan couldn’t contain the situation..imagine if that happened in Nigeria?

Nuclear plant in the south is a curse my guy..

Stop trying to justify rubbish

what kinda illiteracy is this,tori oloun?!
U aint yoruba,they aint this illiterate!


Op,there are enuf landspace in the north and enuf crude oil polution in the south..

FarahAideed:
Once again Buhari has proven to be a tribalist by deliberately refusing to site his dangerous Nuclear plant in the north but instead opted for the south and the middle belt ..Buhari can never change

This is an embarrassment, honestly your statements shows you don't even understand the basic principles of a neclear reactor

All you need is a 10% to 15% uranium enrichment and the safety precusions in the design of the plant is wel calculated

We can get pilots to fly a plane but we can't get technicians to man a reactor?

Japan was caused by a natural disaster minus that when was the last time you had about a nuclear reactor exploding ? And even if it explodes ?

Go read about it or allow expects to talk

oladeebo:

illiterate yah
but knowledgeable!
why can South Africa have Nuclear plant but not Nigeria?
For what reason you people over-rated South Africa, Kenya, etc against Nigeria?
why you people honk of non-development and opposed the development engine in Nigeria?
shame on shameless detractors!

Justiceleague1:


what I am saying is that you should try and improve,haba! You keep bombarding everyday.

Nobody is saying we shouldnt go nuclear but are we ripe for it? What about the security challange(s) it might pose when there are militants everywhere?
I still stand by my earlier post,though you said nada about it,the south is saturated enough with crude pollution,such projects should be sited in the arid area of the north. The north have more suitable landspace for such project.

Russia has signed a deal to build two nuclear power plants in Nigeria, as Africa's largest economy seeks to end its energy crisis.
Russian state-owned company Rosatom will build one in the south, the other in the centre, sources at the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission told the BBC.
The deal's exact worth is unknown, although some reports suggest it is likely in the region of $20bn (£15bn).
It is one of a number that Rosatom has been eyeing on the continent.
The company is also involved in discussions in Ghana and South Africa.
An initial agreement with the latter to build a plant was ruled unlawful in a South African court earlier this year.
The deal in Nigeria was reached after a long period of negotiation, with the two countries signing their first intergovernmental nuclear co-operation agreement in 2009.
Nigeria hopes the plants, which will initially be operated by Rosatom before they are handed over, will help deal with the country's energy deficit.
According to World Bank figures, more than 40% of the country was without mains electricity in 2014.
Nigeria is one of Africa's largest oil producers, but much of its oil wealth has been squandered over the years.
Corruption at all levels has left the country out of pocket, and producing a fraction of the energy its 180 million citizens need.
Construction of the new power plants is expected to begin in the next two years.

Who did this to you? Construction is expected to start in the next 2 year? Tell him we don't need it then cos he is going beyond 2019
