Adetayo100: What did you smoke this morning??



Anyway it's a Good development

what did I smoke?

We are coming up small small....

Nigeria is steadily being transformed by a "clueless" man, hated by many simply out of petty ethno-religious bigotry.

Can't believe i'm saying this, but , GEJ till 2019.

what?... are u kidding me....If this is true....then congratulations oooo.... more job opportunity niyen

Really hope they are serious this time. The forces that have prevented it from taking off all these years still exist. If Nigeria begins to produce steel we will almost literally be taking money out of their pockets and they won't be excited about that.

Just like obasanjo son global steel run it, ajaokuta has been producing rod for long,
What we need is the steel

Nigeria: Ajaokuta Begins Wire Rod Production

By Onyebuchi Ezigbo
Abuja — Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited (ASCOL), has commenced production of Wire Rod, three months ahead of the six months schedule for the completion and commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill.
The Plant, which had remained comatose for a long time, came alive on Tuesday, as Minister for Power and Steel, Senator Lyel Imoke, flagged-off the production of Wire Rod (6mm and 5.5mm thickness) and Ribbed Bars of 10mm thickness at the mill.

we need sustainability of these developmental strides. our economy would be more robust if the government can focus more of non- oil sector.

Revival is not good enough build more industries

Dis is gud news for Nigeria I can onli pray dat dis passion will be kept alive

Good to hear

Rod production? Ajaokuta is more than a rod producing plant. Nigeria is not serious.

The president of COREN has hit the heart of the matter. Industrial revolution. Every developed nation started by industrial revolution. Until Nigeria focuses on that we would not make much progress developmentally.

There is no doubt Nigeria is progressing the best in the last 30 years...benefit of learned leaders even though people claim he is dull.

Just like NEPA ...PHCN ....DISCO and NNPC Refineries .....all producing SOMETHING when in actual fact they are not or may be we don't have the eyes to see?

GEJ is working . creating of more job that's what the people want to see.

asala1: Rod production? Ajaokuta is more than a rod producing plant. Nigeria is not serious.

Only this guy has hit the nail. Without the blast furnace at Ajaokuta being completed, there is no commercial hope for steel production. The blast furnace needs iron ore concentrate from itakpe , coal from Enugu coal mines, and limestone from deposits scattered in Nigeria. Without these raw materials, there is no sane and viable production of billets for steel making that can be commercially marketable. Importing the billets is not the best because the production cost will be too high and the company will run at a loss.

yomip3t: I just hope this is true. The last first time I was there in 2011. I wept for my dear country.
This is indeed a failed nation. We have all what is takes to be a gaint and to become a developed nation but our bad leaders and corrupted minds have killed everything.

That means if u visit the warri abandoned delta steel company(DSC) u wud probably cry blood.
Wish way NIGERIA

Engineers, where art thou. ?

Yomieluv: After years of been used as a conduit pipe to siphon money,finally someone did the right thing by allowing it to function.

GEJ on point.

You people should stop all these nonsensical praises of GEJ in everything.
Wetin concern this man for here now

ThankGod this came to pass, Happy @ the good news, Nigeria is full of resources but the part problems we have is mismanagement and corruption! I just pray the bad eggs amongst us won't destroy these efforts. #Godforbid

1stola:

so the praise should be attributed to who,you?

It started operating under GEJ,so it has to be attributed to GEJ administration.

Do you know how many administration used it as a conduit pipe,bros,we have to give it to GEJ.

Am not a GEj's fan.

na election strategy. d rods couldn't even last for 15min. tell Jona to revive Itakpe mining company. dat way, we knw he s wrkn nt importing rubbish wen we can gt ample frm our land.

if this is true Hurray!!!! If not true God go punish GEJ campaign plans

Dats why is good to hv election once in 4 yrs

Nigeria is a fake country.... How can rod production in Ajaokuta be a new thing.....I did youth service in Ajaokuta in 2003 and they have been producing these rods way before I got there....the rolling mill has always been functional.....go to Ajaokuta and do your own personal investigation..... All this stunts is just for publicity.....desperation for 2015.....I served in the rolling mills that time, we were producing 16mm size rods, go verify records...most corpers posted to that company from 2003 even till 2007 were staffed and working in different sections....we were even generating our electricity at the TBB plant and selling to PHCN the excess not used....pls all the Politics must stop.
