Federal Government Plans Military Hardware Production at Ajaokuta Steel Mill, Says Minister

The Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Audu, announced on Monday that the Federal Government is set to initiate the production of military hardware at the Ajaokuta Steel Mill. The long-standing steel complex, built over 40 years ago, has faced mismanagement by successive governments, hindering its full functionality. Minister Audu revealed that he has collaborated with counterparts in the Ministries of Defence and Works to strategize the revival of the steel plant. In addition to restarting the light steel mill to produce iron rods, the government aims to equip Ajaokuta with capabilities to manufacture military hardware, including helmets, bullets, vests, pads for tanks, rifles, and ammunitions. The Ajaokuta Steel Mill, a massive project plagued by years of dormancy, is now a focal point for the current administration's commitment to industrial revitalisation. Minister Audu estimated the overall revamp cost at two to five billion dollars, with the light steel mill section requiring approximately N35 billion. President Bola Tinubu reportedly approved local fundraising efforts to revive the light steel mill section, emphasizing an investment of N35 billion. This infusion is anticipated to yield 50,000 tons of iron rods initially, with the potential to increase production capacity to 400,000 tons. The minister identified a lack of political will as a major impediment to the Ajaokuta Steel Mill's functionality over the past four decades. He emphasized that President Tinubu's establishment of a dedicated Steel Ministry signifies a historic step, acknowledging the ministry's pivotal role in the country's industrial revolution. Furthermore, Minister Audu disclosed the termination of the last concession agreement with Global Steel, leading to a financial settlement of approximately $496 million by the Nigerian government. He cited previous challenges, including concessionaires lacking the necessary skills, contributing to the prolonged inactivity of the steel complex. The government's renewed commitment to Ajaokuta Steel Mill aligns with broader efforts to bolster industrial capabilities and harness the potential of the steel sector for economic development.

The bandits’ commanders at the meeting were: Ardo Nashawari, Audu Karki and Muhammad Bello, while the leaders of civilian JTF and vigilantes were Malam Garba Nasarawa-Godal and Alhaji Shuaibu Aliyu. Speaking on behalf of the bandits, Nashawari, said with the suspension of the attacks, farmers were now free to return to their farms and other residents free to go about their normal businesses. Nashawari added, “We believe with this dialogue, the Fulani can now go to markets, they can move freely without any hitch.” The Civilian JTF leader, Alhaji Shuaibu Aliyu, urged the government to ensure immediate disarming of the bandits. “On behalf of the entire members of Civilian JTF and Vigilance Group Birnin-Magaji Local Government Area, we commend the state government for this dialogue, we abide by it,” he said. On his part, the commissioner of police described the meeting as “fruitful” and restated the commitment of the command to rid the state of banditry, kidnapping and other crimes. “We are impressed with the comments of the warring factions, both of them have accepted the dialogue”, Nagogo said. The National President of MACBAN, Alhaji Ardo Kiruwa, described the dialogue as “succeeding”, noting that most of the markets that were hitherto closed due to insecurity, have been opened. “We were told that the Fulani were seen in Shinkafi market yesterday”, he added. Kiruwa called on the Fulani to cooperate with government and security agencies in order to maintain peace and stability in the state. Also, Dauran, the special adviser on security, thanked the people of the state for their support and cooperation toward ensuring that the dialogue succeeded. He cautioned against politicising the state government’s efforts at tackling the security challenges in the state. “We are aware that some people are using politics to challenge the government’s efforts in this regard”, he noted. The Emir of Birnin-Magaji, Alhaji Hussaini Maude-Dan’Ali, thanked the state government for initiating the dialogue and urged all parties to adhere to all the agreements reached during the dialogue. “We are happy with the outcome of this meeting, we are going to continue to support government towards ensuring the success of this dialogue”, the emir said.
