The exploration efforts related to uranium ore in Nigeria date back to the end of World War II in 1945. In an attempt to deploy its nuclear sovereignty, all the major powers competed in a search for uranium ore to provide sources of raw materials for generating energy. The Nigerian territory, being part of the British Empire, became a hive of exploration activities for western nations. According to Ogedengbe (1984), the first documented record of uranium exploration was by Beer (1952). The British Geological Survey, Atomic Energy Division, published a classified report of uranium mineralization in Nigeria.
