April 27, 2023 5:00 PMThe senate is seeking to repeal and reenact the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission law to enable the country to enhance sustainable national development.
Ekwunife, who is the chairperson of the committee, said the bill would establish the Nigerian Nuclear Waste Management Company to manage issues relating to radioactive wastes.Advertisement “It is imperative to note that the repeal of this act does not in any way intend for negative use of nuclear power such as armament, but mainly for peaceful purposes in the area of nuclear power, medical diagnoses, and others.”
“I, therefore, urge everyone present for your contribution and submission on the two bills to ensure that we have a popular participation in this process of law-making.”
