Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district has said Kogi would become the industrial hub of Nigeria and Africa in the near future if the Ajaokuta Steel company is revived by the current administration.


She also called for industrial collaboration between the aviation sector and the Ajaokuta Steel company situated in her country home.

Senator Natasha made the assertion while contributing to a bill for an act to establish the Federal College of Aviation Technology, Ilara Remo, Ogun, sponsored by Senator Gbenga Daniel (Ogun East) on Wednesday.

According to her, a working Ajaokuta Steel would provide the spare parts needed to run the aviation industry in Nigeria.


“In 2019, the news space was taken over by some South African teenagers that assembled and flew a four-seater aircraft from Cape Town to Cairo in Egypt, which drew my attention on the fact that Africa has taken its rightful place in the fourth industrial revolution and the question is, how about Nigeria – The Giant of Africa?


“So, in building capacity across the various sectors, we need to begin to think deeply about growing capacity and skills in technology-driven areas.

“Without a doubt, considering the fact that this administration is serious about reviving the Ajaokuta Steel company, we will be speaking not just about assembling planes but also developing the spare parts in Nigeria when the steel industry is set and running.

“I lend my voice on behalf of the good people of Kogi Central, hoping that in the nearest future, Kogi is going to position itself as the industrial hub of the country and Africa, and we will proudly contribute our own quota in building the spare parts and lending our own technological support in having the aviation industry grow,” she said.
