ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
The future of the nuclear industry depends on the youth, and Africa is home to the largest youth population in the world. The nuclear sector should make the African youth the centerpiece of its operations, including training and deployment if it is to achieve a sustainable and just energy transition. Africa being the world’s most natural resource-rich Continent, is yet to develop in terms of social wellbeing, science, technology and energy. The Continent has a lot to offer the world with its teeming young population. The nuclear industry offers a promising direction for the development of the African economies, especially in relation to clean and low-cost energy in the long run for developing the full value chain and beneficiation for the population of Africa. The core of the approach is skills development for the youth of Africa. In this regard, this public lecture is one of a series of ongoing public lectures on peaceful application of nuclear technology in various areas of the global economy.
