“However, the project has faced numerous setbacks over the years, and it has not been fully operational for decades.

Reviving Ajaokuta Steel Company could have significant economic benefits for Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole.

“The steel complex has the potential to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and help diversify Nigeria’s economy.

To revive Ajaokuta Steel Company, there are several steps that could be taken.

These include; 1. Completing the construction of the plant: The plant was designed to have several units, including a blast furnace, a coke oven, and a steel melting shop. Completing the construction of these units and installing the required machinery would be a significant step towards reviving the plant.

“2. Upgrading the infrastructure: The infrastructure around the plant, such as roads, railways, and power supply, needs to be upgraded to support the operations of the plant.

“This would require significant investment and collaboration between the government and private sector.

“3. Securing funding: Reviving Ajaokuta Steel Company would require significant funding.

“The government could explore different funding models, including public-private partnerships and foreign investments.

“4. Addressing legal and regulatory issues: Ajaokuta Steel Company has faced several legal and regulatory challenges over the years.

“These issues need to be addressed to create a favorable business environment for investors,” the statement said.

According to the team,
reviving Ajaokuta Steel Complex would not only benefit Kogi State but also Nigeria as a whole.

“The steel complex has the potential to create jobs, generate revenue, and support the growth of other industries.

“It could also help reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported steel, which would save foreign exchange and support the country’s balance of trade.”

However, it said making Ajaokuta Steel Complex functional would require significant investment, planning, and execution .

“Dino Melaye as governor of Kogi State, a man that understand the economic benefits of the Steel Complex to the state will not leave any stone unturned to ensure this.

“Here are some of the key requirements;1.Completion of the construction: To make Ajaokuta Steel Complex functional, the construction of the plant needs to be completed.

“The plant was designed to have several units, including a blast furnace, a coke oven, and a steel melting shop.

“These units need to be completed, and the required machinery needs to be installed.

“2. Upgrading the infrastructure: The infrastructure around the plant needs to be upgraded to support the operations of the plant.

“This would include upgrading roads, railways, and power supply.

“This would require significant investment and collaboration between the government and private sector.

“3. Skilled workforce: Operating a steel plant requires a skilled workforce.

“The plant would need to attract and retain skilled workers, including engineers, technicians, and other staff.

“4. Raw materials: Ajaokuta Steel Company requires access to raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and limestone.

“These raw materials need to be available and accessible to the plant.

“5. Maintenance and repair: To keep the plant operational, regular maintenance and repair work would be required.

“This would require a dedicated team of technicians and engineers.

“6. Market demand: To make Ajaokuta Steel Complex profitable, there needs to be sufficient demand for its products.

“This would require a market analysis to identify potential customers and develop marketing strategies.

“7. Legal and regulatory environment: The legal and regulatory environment needs to be conducive to business operations.

“This would require addressing any legal and regulatory issues that have affected the plant in the past.

” In summary, reviving Ajaokuta Steel Complex would require significant investment in infrastructure, human capital, raw materials, and maintenance.

“It would also require a favorable legal and regulatory environment and a market for its products.

“With proper planning, execution, and support, Ajaokuta Steel Complex has the potential to become a significant contributor to Nigeria’s economy.

” Haven’t known this, we need to state clearly that Kogi State Governorship needs a prepared mind, who already have the knowledge of the various challenges and equipped with the required solutions.

“On this note, as usual, we wish to present to you, the man who is prepared for the task of making Kogi State the envy of other states and make Kogi State the Economic Giant on Nigeria, which we truly are.

  1. “We present to you, Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye as the next governor of Kogi State,” SDM Media Team said. (vitalnewsngr.com)
