Anyways, since a lot of you guys won’t read: Sani Abacha signed an international treaty in 1996 banning weapons of mass destruction in Africa which is the same year he finalized the deal for Nigeria’s civilian nuclear research program. Stay with me; Abacha signed the Treaty of Pelindaba in April 1996 in Cairo which state that Africa will remain a Nuclear-Weapon free Zone. What this means is that in exchange for that signature & pledge, every nations that signed that treaty are legally guaranteed access to peaceful civilian nuclear technology for medicine, agriculture, and university research not weapon of mass destruction. Check Article 8 of the Pelindaba Treaty. So, no he didn’t do something extraordinary. He was allowed. The international community allowed him to get a glorified, low-power lab tool, not some power grid asset or a strategic weapon as his revisionists will have you believe. That reactor at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT) at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria before it was removed in 2018 is so tiny that it can only produce 30 kilowatts of heat, which is less than the power of 2-3 electric water heaters. The electric water heater in your home draws about 10 to 15 kW of power. The power of what Abacha was allowed to do then is equivalent to running 2-3 water heaters at the same time. Some of us actually read books. No one will whitewash Abacha in my lifetime. Never!!!
