The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday that it is fully in support of Nigeria's ambitions to build a nuclear power plant to meet its growing energy needs.
The Lagos based Vanguard newspaper reported on Friday that the agency position was conveyed by the representative of the director-general of IAEA, Vincent Nkong-Njock, who spoke at the presentation of the Strategic Plan for the Implementation of the National Nuclear Power Program in Abuja.
According to him, the implementation of a complex program such as a nuclear power project is a major national undertaking that requires careful planning and preparation.
Nkong-Njock said the development of an appropriate infrastructure to sustain the introduction of nuclear power is an issue of primal importance and should be painstakingly developed, exercising the necessary caution.
"This entails the provision of the necessary resources including human, financial and logistic, to create the appropriate technological, economic and social conditions that will adequately support the establishment of sustainable national infrastructure able to absorb a nuclear power plant," he said.
