The training at the African Natural Resources and Mines Limited Gujeni plant,a group company of African Industries Group (AIG) is part of efforts of the the Ministry of Steel to enhance the technical competence of it's officers in the mineral and Metallurgical processing technique.

The Ministry in a letter to ANRML signed by Director, Metallurgical Inspectorate and Environmental Protection Engr.Fredrick E.

The African Natural Resources and Mines Limited pioneers eco-friendly iron ore mining in Kaduna state boasting a fully heat recovery technology.

The plant is focused on mining the abundant iron-ore available within it's mines , which is then transformed into high grade Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) through the processes of beneficiating and pelletizing in the state-of-the-art machinery.The DRI is used as a raw material for producing steel in Nigeria.

ANRML's $600 million investment in its integrated steel plant is widely recognised and commended by the Nigerian government as the country's largest non-oil FDI. This significant investment is a cornerstone of the government's efforts to diversify the economy beyond oil and gas, boost the solid minerals sector, and position Nigeria as a prominent global crude steel producer. The facility supports the "Renewed Hope Agenda" of the current administration, which aims to grow the national economy to over a trillion dollars by 2030.

Spending money on training while Ajaokuta steel company rots away despite audio announcements is a very sad thing.

Do we have a steel factory?

Tinubu is synonymous to corruption, he never gets anything right.

This is a very absurd media report in 2025. Like we just coming out of the stone age. Can as well report that over 20 Nigerians will acquire drivers license in November 2025 mtchew!… Abeg who made this news… what a ministry 🤦‍♂️…

What are they learning it for? Ajaokuta steel company is not working yet you are wasting money to train people to do nothing.

Misplaced priorities and avenue to loot more tax payers money

Nice initiative, but hope the chosen people will use the knowledge well and get more establishment/ factories in the same line working.
We have lots of natural resources and we really need to start using most of them.

Maybe for future, Cos looking at it well, it mustn't be Ajaokuta.

They should just build army barrack inside the facility.

Moreover, every single second in which this devout and pious muzlim imam walks free, it legitimizes their tendencies to carry out the obligations of their ideologies without consequences

Is it a crime to to be paid allowances? If you were there, won't you collect?

By the way, that plant isn't eco-friendly evident by the black solid particles hanging around its atmosphere. Yes, the plant is a good progress in terms of Nigeria's steel development but let the ministry address the air pollution issue

20 People were selected but when you check, you will see extra names of Directors and other oga that will not even attend the training. But to your eyes it is ALLOWANCE and you are one of those that want complain about corruption. very good.

Their job is more than Ajaokuta. We have mining operations and other privately held mills and foundries working.
