The Nigerian government says 11 companies have indicated interest to take over Ajaokuta Steel Company on a concession basis.Olamilekan Adegbite,The steel company, located in Kogi State, was built by the Soviets between 1979 and the mid-1990s but has never produced steel as the project was never completed. It was also mismanaged.
“One of the major albatross on Ajaokuta was the concession that occurred under President Olusegun Obasanjo to Messers Global Steel Industries,” Mr Adegbite said on Thursday. “Things went sour and they took us to court. The court case went on for about 12 years, but thanks to a patriotic Nigerian lawyer in the UK who handled the case very effectively.”
“As of today, the process is on. In 2019, I had promised that Ajaokuta Steel would start before we leave office. That is not possible anymore; not because of lack of effort but, especially because of COVID-19. We started the process in October 2019, when we went to Sochi, Russia, to attend a summit with Mr President,”he said.
According to him, the Russians were going to come in March 2020 to start the technical audit for three months.
