Efforts to revamp the Ajaokuta steel mill failed in the past. However, there is the latest offer on ground by the Russian company, MetProm Group, which assessed the complex and tabled the issues facing it before the Federal Government.

It was made known that the Ajaokuta Steel was burdened by some ‘outstanding infrastructural issues’, and if the steel company is to resume operation, the Federal Government will have to address the issue.
