Efforts
are on to put into operation the thermal power plant and the light
section mill of the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited, the Minister of
Mines and Steel Development, Mr. Musa Sada, has said.
Sada said this when he received the
Managing Director, Reprom Company Nigeria Limited, Mr. Attah Achimugu,
who led the firm’s management team and the foreign technical partners on
working visit to the minister, according to a statement issued on
Wednesday by the Head of Public Relations in the ministry, Mr. Marshal
Gundu.
Reprom Company Nigeria had signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with ASCL in March 2013 for a billet
conversion project to put into operation the thermal power plant and
light section mill at Ajaokuta.
Sada said it was cheering to note that
work had reached an advanced stage to kick-start the thermal power
plant’s operation and the light section mill of the Ajaokuta Steel
Complex.
The minister added that putting the
plants into operation had prospects for the industrialisation of the
country and that every Nigerian was looking forward to the realisation
of that vision.
Sada observed that RCNL and its foreign
technical partners were worthy partners to achieve the objective of the
establishment of ASCL because they understood the technology of the
integrated steel plant.
The minister advised the company to
fast-track the implementation and completion of the Memorandum of
Understanding on the steel plant in good time.
