So basically, you know, you would have trade agreements that basically favored, I have to confess, cov uh favored the West over developing countries, especially African countries.

That, oh yes, you should you should agree to this in the agreement and it will it will help you.

But deep down we know it was

Going to help them.

So one of the things we're doing in the British government actually, a little bit strangely enough, going across some parts of the government was helping African countries understand complex trade agreements so we gave them the capacity to negotiate on a more fairly plain field.

Then after that, I thought I want to work closer with people.

So I applied for a job at the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is basically the premier UN organization using

nuclear sensor technology for development.

So it was a a little bit different from what I'd done before, but the main focus was still helping countries enhance their development challenges and address them in a way that would help give them a fair playing field to enrich the lives of their population.

So that was what I was very attracted to doing that.

So, you know, you can use the technology for many things, fighting cancer, food security, even fighting malaria and TB, HIV.

So I got that job um in 2002 and I was assigned to work in Africa, which I love because I'd been craving working just basically with Africa for many more years.

Safe uses of nucleus as a technology for development.

So that's just a a sh uh summary of how I got there from growing up in Nigeria, being in the UK and then working at the IEA in Vienna in

Yeah.

So good question.

So basically when I was working in the IAEA, so for many years the UN had basically measured what we call outputs.

So outputs are things that are tangible.

You can see them, you can feel them.
