New Minister of Steel Development, Shuaibu Audu has outlined the need for Ajaokuta Steel Company to be revived. 

Audu who affirmed his commitment to restoring the moribund steel plant, said he will set a roadmap for the development of the steel sector, aggressively pursue the completion of Ajaokuta steel, and enact required bills to regulate the steel sector, among others.

He said;

“Our past leaders recognised the importance of steel development but lacked the political will to achieve its objectives.

“The steel development is synonymous with the Ajaokuta Steel plant, whose commencement has been over 40 years ago. We aim to start the engine and ensure that we produce at least a small sheet of steel within this administration.

“It is a known fact that steel is the bedrock of any nation’s development; if gotten right, it may be the beginning of our industrial revolution.”
