UniAbuja signs MoU with Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission

The University of Abuja, FCT, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission as part of efforts to advance the use and development of nuclear energy and to enhance research and atomic physics studies.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah during the signing of the MoU at the University, said students of the institution will soon take degrees to PhD level in nuclear energy for the development of the country.

According to him, the University is committed to the development of national goals in science and technology as well as making man power readily available for industrial development.

He described the development as a new dawn for Nigeria in addressing her energy challenges through the development of the necessary manpower with research and innovation.

“Most of the crisis of development in the country is attached to the crisis of energy, if you resolve the problems of energy, most problems are resolved.

“The way that nuclear energy has helped humanity positively, if we had explored that in this nation we would have been at a level that is comparable to many nations of the world and our effort today is to say better late than never.

“The University of Abuja, and the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission is standing up to take this very seriously to ensure that we begin to succeed.

“Our concern is mostly on the safety use of atomic energy, to benefit lives and growth of our nation,” he said.

The Chairman of the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission, Prof. Yusuf Ahmed, on his part said nuclear technology centre will be located in the University due to its geographical advantage.

Genuinely think this drug saved my life. I had to take two courses, I had beyond severe painful, bulging, cystic acne everywhere that nothing worked with while in high school. I had to wear undershirts because I would bleed through my shirts. Had to quit sports because any contact would cause bleeding, not to mention pain. Was essentially bullied out of high school due to the severity of my skin, I literally to this day have never seen anyone with as bad of acne as I had. It completely cleared up my skin after the first course, after a few months, it did come back, pretty harshly by most people’s standards, but literally nothing in comparison to what it was. I took another course https://knowledgewebcasts.com/online-accutane-clean-face/, and I have clear skin to this day, 7 years later with minimal scarring. Only side effect I had was dry everything, skin eyes nose lips. People say it causes depression, I think having severe acne is much more likely to cause depression then accutane.

Ahmed said the commission has been fully affiliated with the University of Abuja to run undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Nuclear Science and Engineering.

He said the University would use the laboratories and equipment at the nuclear centre for the purpose of developing human capital for the country and promotion of nuclear energy and programmes.

However, he further explained that the Energy Commission has six centres in each geo-political zones affiliated with a federal University where research, innovation and technology is being developed for capacity building, manpower training and educational activities.

Director of Energy Research Centre, University of Abuja, Dr Kafayat Adeyemi, said the Centre would develop manpower to construct nuclear installations for generating electricity, and undertake research into matters relating to the use of atomic energy. (NAN)
