Towards this end, Dr. Onu stressed that collaboration between Nigeria and North Korea in nuclear technology will sterilize the reproductive ability of anopheles mosquitoes which is the vector carrier of the disease.
According to the Minister, nuclear technology will be deployed to control the birth of anopheles mosquitoes, adding that malaria is the number one cause of death among Africans.

Malaria, he explained, has caused the death of more people than HIV and Ebola.
Dr. Onu also opined that malaria has a debilitating effect on the economy by reducing productivity of the workforce.
Speaking earlier, Ambassador Choi said North Korea will be partnering with Nigeria in developing science and technology through exchange of researchers from research institutes of both countries.
Mr. Choi noted that science and technology is an important asset of any country adding that science and technology is the foundation of economic development.
It will be recalled that at the recently concluded 3rd meeting of ECOWAS ministers in-charge of Science, Technology and Innovation held in Cotonou, Benin Republic, Dr. Onu had emphasized the application of Science, Technology and Innovation to address the malaria scourge.

They should first deploy and tell president Buhari which technology was used in governor gadollar's video...

This APC government eh!
I can swear they're constantly smoking weed over at Aso rock. If you're still supporting this demonic party, sorry oh!

Can't we use the Cuban model and get done once and for all?


Must we always listen to WHO all the time?

Must someone, somewhere always dictate to us?


It's difficult being Nigerian/African.

We haven't produced the ordinary pencil APC promised us in 2018, it's nuclear technology they want to deploy. Buhari that don't even know the technology used in Ganduje's bribe video is talking about technology.


Chai...these people think we are all vegetables like the Daura samanja

Please deploy your nuclear technology to Eradicate insurgency

Let’s see how it goes .

Sai baba

This will be good!

This is so funny!

That's a good and welcome development

APC will soon use nuclear exposure to kill everyone in bid to prove they are working. Mumu government that failed to achieve basic things of life is exploring nuclear technology for malaria treatment. SMH.

Kwa

Nuclear gini Biko?!

These mad pipu should allow my food digest in peace Haba!!!!

These people self; haba, which kind government be this and some juvenile are shouting up and down, even as these old ones mortgage their future!

North Korea's nuclear research is strongly opposed by the west...For Nigeria to partner with them would only bring international sanctions upon our "already-wrecked" economy by the western world

Laughing In Swahili

A friend to North Korea is an enemy to the US. The Trump administration doesn't give a fvck! what will remain of our economy when we start getting trade tarrifs from the US. This govt just wanna ruin this country. Anyway February is right here.

North korean? This administration is dumb..... nuclear? We are finish. They should start it from buhar compound first.

Annihilating the Anopheles mosquitoes population by making them sterile will alter the natural ecosystem. They serve a purpose in the ecosystem but trust Nigerians to destroy any other living creature perceived to be an "enemy". Live and let's live

Lol @Mr. Choi

But anything to eradicate the annoying mosquitoes would be a highly welcome development...

Lol

That nuclear stuff or what so ever might not work for naija mosquitoes o.... Imagine me pouring almost one container of SNIPER in ma room, sniper almost killed me at night, even after I left the house for 2hours and returned..yet mosquitoes were still flexing & biting me that night... Don't know if they have their own gas mask..

Lie Mohammed has started another of his lies

Someone should help me with that fat laughing man please.

This news is very funny.

Only read "nuclear" and stopped.
These people Wan finally kill us all!

These guys are out to use Nigeria as test ground for their killer technology. Why not go to Australia?

Who does that make sense to? WHO ? Onye?

Where issues go start na the location of a nuclear facility.

Make Dem no go kill people o.
