Ajaokuta Steel Company 500,000 Upstream & Downstream Employment 2017 – The Federal Government says the first phase of Ajaokuta Steel Company will provide 500,000 upstream and downstream employment when it becomes operational.

Mr Isah Onobere, the Sole Administrator of the company made this known during a media tour to the company on Friday.

Onobere said that the first phase of the plant would also provide direct employment for 10,000 technical staff when inaugurated.

He also said the first phase had been completed, adding that it was envisaged to produce 1.3 million tonnes of liquid steel per annum.

He said that it would cost 400 million dollars to complete Ajaokuta steel, which had reached 98 per cent completion.

According to him, two billion dollars is needed for infrastructure rehabilitation and operational cost.

He said that government had begun to commit resources toward the maintenance and preservation of the equipment and facilities of the plant recently and called for improved efforts.

According to him, government is considering the report on various options on the way forward for the completion of the project.

These options he said include outright sales, concessioning and joint venture of Ajaokuta steel.

He, however, denied rumour about the company equipment being obsolete, adding that the company, with 98 per cent completed, could stand test of time, adding that all its equipment were functioning appropriately.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the then President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, laid the foundation of Ajaokuta in 1980 and within four years, it attained was 84 per cent completion.

Ajaokuta steel company is located on 24,000 hectares of sprawling green-field landmass built on 800-hectares of land.

It is Nigeria’s leading steel company and intended to be the leading supplier of quality steel products in all the major economic sectors, including construction, packaging, wire drawing and nail making industry among others.

Are you talking of ipob youth

another set of lies coming up


wat happened to KTL?


abeg make una let us hear word


lies every where

like mtn

Lol. Na today? I've been hearing this same lie for over 15 years yet nobody's been employed. They keep sacking instead

APC
CHANGE . THE CHANGE WE WANT
HALA CHANGE

Anticipating

500k? ook.

This government should stop the foolish lies. Even huge organisations like Shell, GE and Total that operate in almost every country don't employ 500,000 people globally. How can a company that is not operational employ up to 500,000 people.

Unless they plan to employ ghost workers who will work from home like the president is doing.

Exactly sir

The liepods.

picture of ajaokuta steel and work done or i don't believe it.

Anonylander:

It must be privatised in one form or another otherwise it would simply be a cash cow for government employees who would ultimately run it to the ground.

Na our way.

Someone once told me it will take more than a man to make Ajaokuta work, he said it will take a god"

But he was wrong all it will take is just a man with conviction. A man of CHANGE, A man like BUHARI

God BLESS PMB
God BLESS NIGERIA

another bmc dish

who your belief epp?

Hope Mr Sole. Administrator is not being over optimistic? If not then it's a welcome development. A plus for this govt and a good thing for the teeming unemployed youths. A win win situation

I think it is time for Nigeria to grow from crawling to walking and running and hope the criminals will not come for bidding when it start working. keep it up

Just ask your fore father's that question

How do these people arrive at this figures 500k jobs

What is even their target market?
Even now that there is over supply of steel in the world.

Do they know what it means to operate firm that can create 500k job either directly or indirectly

When will Federal govt make coal mining in Enugu function properly?

Top politicians already have slots including Ogars of the company. Ain't surprised though.

Nothing about Naija interest's me anymore.

Same resuscitation should be given to Delta Steal Company(DSC) Ovwian.... That would definitely take off jobless youths roaming the street endlessly..
