Federal Government has expressed concerns over the safety of nuclear and radioactive materials in the country and the rest of the world, noting that Nigeria was fully aware of the global concerns towards the proliferation of nuclear weapons and had taken steps to contribute to global efforts aimed at tackling this issue.
Monguno advised African countries to improve on their preparedness for nuclear emergencies through the development of appropriate response strategies. He said: “Nigeria accords high priority to all global efforts towards ending the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, including nuclear weapons, and is very much aware of the prevailing international anxiety over nuclear security and proliferation of nuclear weapons.
“The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, in its Incident and Trafficking Database, lists more than 3,000 incidents involving illicit trafficking and other unauthorized activities involving nuclear and radioactive materials reported by member states. Of these incidents, almost 300 involved a confirmed or likely act of trafficking or malicious use and a further 900 did not have sufficient information to determine if it is related to trafficking or malicious use or not.
