Nigeria Plans to Build Nuclear Power Centers
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan recently announced that his country plans to use nuclear energy for development purposes. But some observers say Nigeria should first learn how to use its own natural resources before building a nuclear power center.

Nigerians first began talking about nuclear power in 2007. That was when then-President Umaru YarAdua said the country planned to add nuclear energy to the nations electric power grid by 2017.
It does not appear the country will meet that goal, although officials say the plan to develop nuclear power has yet to be cancelled. Eli Jidere Bala is the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria.
Nigeria is on course on its, in its plans to have nuclear power that is used of nuclear energy for peaceful use. And one of the things weve done is to have the institutional framework in place.
Mr. Bala says Nigeria has established research centers and is working with the International Atomic Energy Association.
We are planning between 1,000 megawatts and 2,000 megawatts for the first instance before, very shortly. I know it takes time to plan nuclear -- you must plan. It takes about eight years for planning and etcetera and etcetera. So we are targeting at 1,000 to 2,000 megawatts.
