A team of 23 Russian engineers, the original builders of the Ajaokuta Steel Company, has arrived in Ajaokuta in Kogi State, to conduct a technical audit of the facility.

This was confirmed by the authorities on Friday which also shares a picture of the engineers taken in front of the facility.

The team, which is working alongside engineers from the company, is tasked with identifying areas for improvement and upgrading outdated equipment to ensure effective operations.

As part of the revamp, analog equipment will be replaced with digital ones to bring the facility up to modern standards.

This move is seen as a crucial step towards completing the long-abandoned project and restoring the steel plant to its former glory.

Speaking with the Nigerian Television Authority, the sole administrator of the Ajaokuta steel company, Sumaila Abdul-Akaba who confirmed this to NTA said, "The team has visited several units including thermal power plant, light mills Section and the Oxygen Plant.”

That's good.
Hope they won't be fixing it til next government?

Biodun556:
Many parts of the steel company would rusted or outdated. It may take years again to fix. It was started in 1979 still incomplete till today

AntiMarxist:
It was 85% completed by Shagari who started the project. The only thing left was to connect the gas pipelines.

The project was summarily brought to an end by Buhari's military junta and since then nothing has been done.

Buhari came to ensure we never industrialise .

Good until they get a call from their Western masters to end relations again.

Every decade with this usual stunt.

Procashtips:
So you mean because of that 2 years stint, Buhari told others not to build anything else? An almost 60 years old country using a 2 years leadership period to define why she hasn't grown?
