Akwa Ibom Assembly Rejects Planned Nuclear Power Plant In Itu LGA by blog4all(m): 12:06am On Feb 12, 2020 |
The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, has again rejected the planned building of a nuclear power plant in Itu Local Government Area or any part of the state. At Tuesday plenary, the House resolved that no part of Akwa Ibom land should be released for the purpose of building a nuclear power plant. The resolution followed a motion brought before the House by the Member representing Itu State Constituency, Hon. Kufreabasi Edidem who said that the project does not conform with international standards guiding the implementation of civil nuclear programs across the globe. He said despite warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Nigeria lacks the technical competence to handle nuclear issues, and the rejection of the project by the 6th Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, the National Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) has not relented in its decision to proceed with the nuclear project in Itu LGA. “The 6th Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly through a motion moved by Rt. Hon. Nse Essien, Member representing Onna State Constituency, rejected the planned nuclear power plant, urging the Federal Government to instead of the dangerous venture, explore other available and harmless sources of power in the state, including increasing the capacity of the Ibom Power Plant.” He further cited constant emission of radioactive radiations, discharge of non-biodegradable radioactive wastes, absorption into ecosystem and food chain, as some dangers Akwa Ibom people would be exposed to, if the nuclear power plant is cited in Itu LGA or any other part of the State. The Speaker, while responding, commend Hon. Edidem for the timeliness of the Motion and urged the Clerk to communicate the resolution of the House to the appropriate quarters. At Plenary also, the House passed the Bill to Eliminate Violence in Private and Public Life, Prohibit All Forms of Violence Against Persons and to provide Maximum Protection and Effective Remedies for Victims and Punishment for Offenders and Other Matters Connected Therewith into law. Similarly, the House also passed into law, A Bill to Establish the Akwa Ibom State Bureau of Public Procurement and Budget Monitoring for the Conduct of Public Procurement in the State and for Other Matters Connected Therewith, while A Bill for a Law to Establish the Akwa Ibom State Parks and Gardens Agency and for Connected Purposes, sponsored by the Member representing Nsit Ibom State Constituency, Hon. Ifiok Udoh, scaled through First Reading and was referred to the House Committee on Culture and Tourism.

Akwa Ibom has rejected this plan multiple times. If Buhari is so bent on building a nuclear power plant take it to Cross River. Governor Ayade might cry tears of joy. Front page: Lalasticlala mynd44 1 Like 1 Share

He said despite warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Nigeria lacks the technical competence to handle nuclear issues Meaning IAEA had warned that Nigeria lacks the technical competence to handle nuclear issues. But now that the fed govt is determined to start generating electricity from nuclear power, why must the plant be sited in an area already suffering from environmental degradation due to oil spillage through which Nigeria practically feeds? Is the plant environment-sensitive? What happened to the vast unproductive land in sambisa presently occupied by the desert animals called boko haram? 2 Likes |

Most state govts don't do anything except to use fg to shine. Same pple crying that they don't have light are the first to frustrate any move to bring solution. Anyway, they don't have choice. Fg can acquire that land and pay compensation. They shld go to court |

allthingsgood: All your claims are nonsense. Akwa Ibom already has a power plant. The federal government cant acquire land forcefully because the land use act vest land with state government. The federal government should cite it elsewhere. |

explore other available and harmless sources of power in the state, including increasing the capacity of the Ibom Power Plant.” The state should've done this themselves. The state has the opportunity to inceease capacity to 685 mw but didn't bother. Nobody in the government talks about the project anymore.

Technically, it would be hard to site a nuclear plant in the North due to most parts of the North being dry zones as the nuclear reactors need lots of water to operate, so it needs to be sited in a region where there's a lake or a river. Then again, an artificial lake/river can be created in the North if one must site a Nuclear plant in the North. 3 Likes 1 Share |
