Nuclear energy is seen as one of the source s that have the capacity to meet this increasing demand ifeffectivelyintegrated into the nation's en ergy mix. A survey was conductedto capture public opinions in the deployment of other energy options such as nuclear energy into the Nigeria energy mix. The res ult of the survey indicated a decline in support fo r nuclear energy as option in meeting Nigeria energy povertycompared to renewable energy which was most favoured by vast majority of the respondents. This is however attributable to the present securit y challenge in Nigeria and the fukushima accident whi ch occurred 2011 in Japan. The opposition to nuclear power can be reversed if the peaceful applications, socio-economic and environmental case for its deployment is strong eno ugh. This paper would help policy/decision makers in making proper decision as regards to nuclear pow er deployment and its review if barriers such as energy security, public's opposition are adequately addressed.

It is a necessary factor in fostering human development and economic growth in a secure, affordable, reliable, clean, and sustainable energy supply. Presently, we face monumental challenges: global warming, the waning of natural resources, explosions in population growth, increasing energy demand, rising energy prices, and unequal distribution of energy sources. These factors contribute to the urgent need to transform the energy sector-which primarily relies on fossil fuels to an alternative energy sources (i.e.-to one that uses renewable energies and energy efficient measures)(1). This paper highlights the effects of climate change in relation to the energy sources use pattern and proffer ways of mitigating the devastating consequences in the continued patronage of the conventional sources of energy for a friendly and sustainable future.
