I remember growing up in Ajaokuta. It was like living in London. Steady light and water supply with state of the art academic facility...

Please God, let Ajaokuta work for the betterment of our unborn generation!!

lol , zombies are my only problem in this country, APC used Ajaokuta to campaign 4years ago, and the place is cover up in bush today, this is the photo punch took there 5 months ago.

https://punchng.com/we-wont-spend-money-on-ajaokuta-again-fg/

quoting Fayemi the Mineral and steel minister, saying they won't spend money on Ajaokuta again, why trying to fool the people again?

instead of Buhari to instruct Fayemi the minister of steel to fix Ajaokuta ? he was busy chasing fayose all over the place to install the minister of steel as governor in his attempt to win re election abandoning his major duty


shame on you people defending this selfish leaders..

He continued: “Even if it was completed 100% it would not be able to operate. If we are to bring in all the raw materials required from Itakpe, like the iron concentrate required, you need 750 trucks travelling each day to feed Ajaokuta. Imagine 750 trucks on Ajaokuta-Itakpe road daily. The road will be bad in one week.



Typical of the Nigerian government to kick-start a project without proper feasibility studies. If the brains in their heads were functional, is it not the roads they will construct first? 98% my left yansh!

Lack of external infrastructure is the reason why Ajaokuta Steel Company is yet to start operations, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Abubakar Bawa Bwari, has said.
The minister was speaking at a press briefing on the three years’ accounts and stewardship of the ministry held in Abuja, yesterday.

“Ajaokuta is 98% completed. Everything is in place and we have our workers there that are maintaining the place. The remaining two percent has to do with external infrastructure. We need waterways. We need viable ports and so on. Government is putting all these things in place now,” he stated.
He continued: “Even if it was completed 100% it would not be able to operate. If we are to bring in all the raw materials required from Itakpe, like the iron concentrate required, you need 750 trucks travelling each day to feed Ajaokuta. Imagine 750 trucks on Ajaokuta-Itakpe road daily. The road will be bad in one week.

“So, what we have done is that we have completed the road link from Ajaokuta, Itakpe Warri ports. For Baro, it will soon be commissioned. We are trying to fix the infrastructure that will make Ajaokuta work,” the minister said.
He said many investors have indicated interest in taking over Ajaokuta, including investors who want to fix those infrastructure, adding “Ajaokuta will work.’’
The said under President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s strategic interventions from 2016, the mining sector has witnessed a steady rise in its contribution to the nation’s GDP from 0.33% in 2015 to 0.6% in 2016.
“Overall, the revenue generated by the ministry from royalties and fees has improved from N2.08 billion in 2015 to N3.92 billion in 2017 and N2.97 billion as at October 2018. Limestone mining has continued to lead in royalties earned by government,” he added.
He said within the period under review, the Mining Cadastre Office (MCO) has realized the sum of N5.2 billion as revenue generated through processing and other licensing fees.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/why-ajaokuta-steel-hasnt-started-operation-fg.html?

Presidentchike:
The situation of Nigeria calls for worry.

We have the Human Resources and Material resources required to excel.

All we have lacked is the proper 21st century leadership. We can see what young tech entrepreneurs are doing all over the world.

My heart bleeds for Nigeria. Lets vote to get it right for the sake of our dear country Nigeria.

Mopolchi:
This useless government no fit manage economy. Every thing in their fold is now moribund. We all have the duty to send Buhari led government away next month, particularly to Daura.

Jeezuzpick:


One word: RAIL.

theenchanter:
i think water transport will be better. Just use d river niger.

D rail is now converted for passenger's use.

Jeezuzpick:


Hmmmmm...... There's no waterway between Ajaokuta and Itakpe.

However, it's not too great a distance that a freight line cannot be constructed in a few months.

venai:
Ajaokuta steel and second Niger bridge are two of those magics any government in power can effectively use to win votes from certain sections of the country. The worst part of our stupidity is that we see ourselves as the wisest people in Nigeria.


Ajaokuta steel plant and second Niger bridge will again be used for 2023 elections campaign. Quote me on this!

But before then, I give Buhari 4+0 = back to Daura or Sudan.

but the spoon I see on your party poster looks like you want to go there and chop instead of creating industries for the youth.

Your name sounds Like a one-time head boy of SCSS I Ajaokuta.... There was no where like Ajaokuta

Presidentchike:
The spoon to feed the masses sir. They deserve and intact own ALL the food

Yeah. God bless you. I am he

5thElement:


OK, great concept. I don't think the masses need to be spoonfed though. the people just need an opportunity to be productive and contribute to the economy of the nation by being productive, adding to the wealth of the nation and not taking away from it by being spoonfed.

you may want to change the logo. that's up to you.

then also, I'm sure your senatorial constituents would like a better representation. start from there.

if you want a direct opportunity to serve the people, vie for the chairmanship of your local government and perform exceptionally. you have a better chance from there. from there, take a shot at the governorship and within 8-16 years you might actually be the youngest President this nation has ever elected.

I know you didn't ask for my advice, but there you have it.

good luck

Presidentchike:
Great advice sir. Well appreciated Sir
