Clap for your self 🤣🤣🤣
It’s obvious you bingos don’t know the importance of flyovers, is only to decongest traffic


Ebonyi as a whole is not up to onitsha population but you’re celebrating 17flyovers while abject poverty is the course of the day there

What do you mean poverty in Ebonyi state? Is Nigeria not a poor country?

Jcoleworld911:


Tell that to your fada imbecil$

It's obvious you are the real child of an imbecil$. You can't use your brain, you can't think.

Ebubu2:
Now power generation distribution and transmission is now solely a state affair.

All thanks to Buhari

Tallesty1:
All thanks to Buhari

yea

Mr thinker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Poverty is your problem

This is the owner of the company probably your mate, while you are here writing rubbish

Dey play.

Too much money is my problem.

Ebubu2:
What happened to Ajaokuta steel company?

Well, where are they gonna source iron ore from ? Anambra does not have iron ore in mining capacity; I think that belongs priorly to Kogi state.

So who supplies their iron ore?


Are you sure this is not steel warehouse for imported steel that will be sold? Actually looks like an empty hall with dust and no equipment

most mini steel mills run on scrap steel only

No my bro or sis (not sure). :-)

[b]First is cost: [/b]1 kg of steel in useful form, in this case structural steel (in that form) is far more expensive than 1 kg of cement/concrete.

The equivalent in useful application to that structural steel is reinforced concrete and even at that, the cost of 1kg of concrete (cement +water +sand + gravel + reinforced steel rods) is still cheaper than 1 kg of structural steel.

Majorly because we dont have a well developed steel mills that will drive cost down and improve demand. thanks to the Nigerian Government.

There is demand for structural steel but its mostly for industrial applications (warehouses and factories) which need more load strength for features like over-head cranes and other heavy equipment, and also because structural steel allows for more open space in the design to fit and refit equipment without breaking down walls, you just bolt, rivet, weld. As a result, the steel grade, manufacturing process strengthens the steel more for this application and consequently increasing the cost.

on the contrary, the major demand for buildings in terms of number is residential and commercial buildings which do not need that level of strength etc. and so they go for the cheaper concrete.

Check Nigeria prices in the market: 1 bag of cement = N4,500, 1kg of gravel could be N2,000, 1 kg of sharp sand could be N2,000

In terms of knowledge, we are not where we should be but trust me, many experienced Nigerian professionals in the field abound but you may only see them abroad.

So even if the costs start coming at par, which is not likely, people wont be building home with structural steel profiles. Reinforced concrete would always be chosen.

Understood. Thanks for the clarification.

Would you by any chance know why demand would be low? Why are we so cement dependent when we can also use steel bars for construction. Is it lack of knowledge or education?

Honestly, thank you for taking the time to break this down.
Everything you said is true. If we can mass produce steel in cheaper and larger quantities to a point that the cost is almost equivalent to cement/gravel/sand/rods, adoption would increase.

Everything comes down to stable electricity to build heavy industries like steel plants. The currents plants are tiny.
