The best defense nigerian uranium mining has against slavery allegations is Uranium ore's abysmal energy density.
It would take an artisinal miner years or decades to gather a kg of uranium. They'd produce more electricity on a bicycle generator.
Which is not to say that they're paid well or given PPE or that radon levels are monitored, or that the tailings dams are kept to any sort of safety standards.
