According to Bala, there are modular systems which can generate small amounts of energy over time to reduce the risk of nuclear accidents and universities elsewhere are building modular nuclear reactors, hence the imperative of investment in education. He, therefore, appealed for a quantum of additional investment in education to enable Nigeria achieve the feat in other climes.
