STRENGTHENING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS IN NIGERIA’S NUCLEAR SECTOR

The NNRA weekly in-house seminar was held as usual. Mr. Saiyadi Suleiman, DGM of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Division, shared key insights into the division’s work and highlighted achievements, challenges, and future goals.

He spotlighted the successful IAEA review of the Draft 2021 Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Regulations, a major step toward aligning with international safety standards. He also emphasized the division’s role in the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) and its active participation in the 2024 IAEA ConvEx emergency exercises.

While progress has been made, Mr. Suleiman noted the need for continued investment in resources and capacity building to enhance national preparedness and response capabilities.
