When they used Nigeria's parochial sentiment to push it from Onitsha to Kogi State how will it work



Nigeria is a country hurting itself just to spite some group

Billionaire industrialist Aliko Dangote has stated that the long-troubled Ajaokuta Steel Company cannot succeed despite decades of efforts.

According to him, Nigerians may continue to deceive themselves and show passion for the project, but the reality is that it is not possible.

Dangote is right,Ajaokuta was built on the old now obsolete Blast furnace technology,it’s now archaic that’s the truth

Ajaokuta Steel Company was built by a Russian Contractor (Tyaz Prom Export) between 1979 and 1987.

Now, between 1987 and 2007, Most of the components of the Steel Mill were looted & sold as scrap metals.

When Obasanjo wanted to revive Ajaokuta Steel Mill in 2003, instead of calling on the Russian Contractor that built the Steel Mill from scratch; Yes, you guessed right! Obasanjo awarded the contract to a fictitious American Company called “SOLGAS ENERGY” that did absolutely nothing for a year before the contract was cancelled and then given to an Indian firm called GINL Ltd in 2004. This company looted more than 40% of the Ajaokuta Steel Mill components without doing anything.

Now listen to me, Ajaokuta Steel Mill can be likened to a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. Successive Governments after Governments stripped & sold the components of this Beetle for over 30 years, and now that only the Chasis, Bumpers, Steering Wheel and the worn-out tyres are the only remaining components of this Beetle, the Government now wants to import Hyundai Engine, Toyota Gearbox, Kia Exhaust Pipes, GAC windshield, IVM Fenders and merge them together into the skeleton of this Volkswagen Beetle.

if this is not the definition of madness, Please tell me what it is?

YES! Aliko Dangote is correct. Ajaokuta Steel Mill CAN NEVER EVER WORK. Unless it is completely stripped down and a BRAND NEW STEEL MILL is built in its stead. Any task undertaken to revive this dead & buried Steel Mill is just an exercise in futility.

Kushites:
It will be sad if he’s right.

I believe the real problem with Ajaokuta is that it was built by the Russians to NOT work.

I read about certain structural defects in that complex that rendered it unviable after it was completed.
