Olamilekan Adegbite, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development says the Federal Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that Ajaokuta Steel Company becomes fully operational in the next two years.
Mr Adegbite said this on Friday in Ajaokuta during a tour of the steel complex.
The minister commended the staff of the company for ensuring the security and maintenance of the facilities.
“The plants are there and some of them are fully functional, the only reason Ajaokuta is still here, is because the staff are being paid salaries over the years.
“They have not only ensured that the plants are here, they ensured their maintenance and functionality,” he said.
According to Adegbite, though the workshops are functioning, the desire of the Federal Government is to upgrade the facility to manufacturing and production of materials for possible export.
He said that the Federal Government would collaborate with the African Export-Import Bank and the Russia Export Centre to ensure that the steel plant was rehabilitated for full capacity operations.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Federal Government had allocated N3.796 billion to the Steel Plant in the 2020 Budget and was counting on Russia to get the complex running optimally.
An accord to revive the Ajaokuta project was reached at a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russia in October.https://dailynigerian.com/ajaokuta-steel-company-to-become-operational-in-2021-minister/?

Don't believe politicians, they will still shift the data,refineries and Enugu airport comes to mind

we will Wait until it works before believing anything

Ajaokuta is a grand scam

I suspect lawsuits and other issues will stop that from happening. Nigeria will probably lose case since its usually the FG violating agreement.

The minister said, “As it where, Aladja (steel mill) has already been privatised and sold but Ajaokuta and Itakpe are still in government hands and will produce to the benefit of the people of Nigeria, no matter whose ox is gored.

“These people (GSHL), they are not our friends, they don’t want Nigeria to produce steel and they have successfully done it over the years.

“As it where, they are preparing to go back to some court abroad to embarrass Nigeria but I’m sure the country is capable of meeting them at this point and we will not surrender our sovereignty to some individuals.”

A really grand scam..... But blind and bull-headed nationalism won't let people see that.

This is another scam

Always rising to life years after years

- This is another scam because all their electoral promises were overtly denied hence scam, Ogoni-Cleanup, Conversion of Presidential fleet to national carrier, Abolishing office of the first lady, No seeking of foreign healthcare, Fuel subsidy, Voodoo economies, body odour among many were all scam by the APC broom-waving goverment.

For another lies regarding Ajaokuta Steel

SMS AJAOLIES to 419

Look at the giant strides being made by buhari in every facets of our infrastructural development. Many things that the so called educated past leaders never dreamt of achieving. I am optimistic that by the time buhari concludes his tenure, Nigerians would have realized what a wise decision the made at they polls.

Talk and Do General


If Fashola or Rotimi Ameachi should oversee this project then am sure the completion is near, atleast first of it major delay problem of getting coal to kogi state to keep the furnace running 24/7 had being solved by Ameachi's train (Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri) , we look forward to it remordernisation works

Evil minded people would wail but we dont care, they can join ghanians in wailing outside the border

*they said Ameachi wouldnt give us rail, yet He delivered itakpe- ajoukuta - warri rail line and now Ajoukuta steel plant furnace can get coal all year round through warri port, he delivered abuja- kaduna, and Lagos-Abeokuta-ibadan rail line iss close to completion
*they complained about bad airport, abuja runway was resurfaced and an ultra modern new airport building built
*Fashola is making second Niger Bridge a reality that we can see and feel and not just 3d presentation

Sure seems that way. I suspect the whites never wanted to make that place work. If Nigeria becomes an industrial giant, who would buy their stuff?

Audio things.
