Ajaokuta Steel Coy Commences Production

Ajaokuta Steel company worker weekend commenced the production of rods.

The steel company established by the Shehu Shagari administration on June 18, 1981 has been operating on skeletal services due to the near abandonment of the project by past administrations, a situation which made the management of the company to be traversing from one private consultancy to the other.

But the current operator of the company, Reprom Nigeria Ltd in its bid to make a difference over the weekend ordered for some tons of billets, a major raw component for the mass production of rods and angle bars.

Conducting news men round the plant, the managing director of Reprom Nigeria Ltd, Mr Attah Achimugu, said with the arrival of billets, the rolling mills which have been abandoned for years would now bounce back to life as it would be used to produce large- scale of rods and angle bars for domestic and export purposes

While lighting the furnace, Achimugu said his company had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ministry of mines and development in March 2013, to render technical services to the company

He said the MoU was centrally to reactivate the thermal power plant and the Light Mill section of the company, and stressed that with the arrival of the billets and lighting of the furnace, the steel company was now ready for full production

He said his company would need at least 1000 metric tonnes of billet to enable them effectively take off, while the steel company was expected to generate over 400,000 assorted finished products annually when completed.
