Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, says, Federal government of nigeria, has promised to revive the Ajaokuta Steel Company in Kogi State.

Maku made the promise when the National Good Governance Tour team visited the complex in Ajaokuta.

Maku, also the Supervising Minister of Defence, commended the workers for their faith in the plant and urged them to remain steadfast and continue to keep activities at the factory alive.

Earlier, the Sole Administrator of the company, Joseph Isah, told the tour team that the company was a huge investment opportunity for interested private sector players.

He said the federal government’s agenda for economic transformation could not be realised if the steel company was not revived.

According to Isah, the steel plant had tremendous linkage and multiplier effect on the various sectors of the national economy that needs to be harnessed.

He said that contrary to speculations, most of the machines in some sections of the factory were in workable condition.
