Minister of Finance and Co-coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, who addressed the roundtable themed, “Building Partnerships with Renewed Hope for a Diversified and Prosperous Economy,” thanked the Chairman of Jindal Steel and Power Limited, Mr. Naveen Jindau, for the new 3 billion dollar investment in iron ore processing and steel development in Nigeria.
