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 Gbagan Media
The deal's exact worth is unknown, although some reports suggest it is likely in the region of $20bn .
It is one of a number that Rosatom has been eyeing on the continent.

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.
Construction of the new power plants is expected to begin in the next two years.

Can someone explain to me why Nigerians can't do things for themselves still? We are educated, with Masters and Phd's. We even school abroad. Yet we outsource MAJOR projects to foreigners in 2017!
Shame on us,and our educational systems.
Shame!

Nuclear power energy is quite complicated , and sophisticated in developing.

It also require experience hands to handle.

Ironically it might take Nigeria 30years to be able to build one for itself
