Ajaokuta Steel Company Almost Ready

Ajaokuta Steel Company Almost Ready
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Olamilekan Adegbite, has revealed that the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited, will commence full operation before the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari’s comes to a close.

Mr. Adegbite made this known during the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.

He said the federal government had made effort to ensure that the Russian company that built the steel industry would come to Nigeria to conduct technical audit of the company.

He said the Russian team which was supposed to have been in Nigeria since 2020 for the technical audit was hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The minister had earlier said that a 60-man team from Russia would arrive in Nigeria to start a technical audit of the steel company.

The agreement on how to revive the steel company was reached during a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and President Vladimir Putin in Russia in 2019.

The Russian government had nominated TPE, the original builder of Ajaokuta Steel Company, to conduct technical audit of the steel company to ascertain the level of work remaining to be completed on the steel company.

However, the minister said the main purpose of the steel company when it was conceived and built was to produce liquid steel, adding that the National Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) was set up at Itakpe in Kogi to feed it with iron ore.

He explained that liquid steel could be used for building aeroplane and car engine parts, among others.

“Ajaokuta Steel Company has been unable to produce liquid steel since it was built –the little hurdles we need to address.

“The steel company has worked in the past whereby billet were imported to produce reinforcement but that was not what Ajaokuta steel was built for,” he said.

He also said the ministry had recently trained some youths in the metal sub-sector on national development to ensure human capital development with special emphasis on vibrant metals operators.

He said the workshop was an appropriate strategy meant to launch and mainstream youths into the sector, adding that the three weeks intensive workshop was to work towards the development of the sector.
