The Federal Government has secured a $1.45 billion funding to finally complete Ajaokuta Steel Complex.

Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Olamilekan Adegbite, who disclosed these facts at the weekend in Abuja said that Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, which was also represented on the team set up by President Muhammadu Buhari was looking at some of the figures.

According to him, the process to complete the project commenced with the bilateral meeting between Nigeria’s delegation led by Buhari to Russia in 2018 and Russian Delegation led by Mr Vladimir Putin during the Russia/Africa summit.

“President Buhari and President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation had an agreement on a government to government basis where the Russian Government being the original builders of Ajaokuta would come back and help us to complete whatever is left.

“They will do some equipment audit. The plant is currently okay. Nothing has been looted, the plant is there and is running fine. “The process of the completion has started but for COVID-19, Russians would have arrived for the technical audit. They were supposed to come in late February to start the technical audit. “The technical audit would lead to a concrete document like a bill of engineering measurement and evaluation which will give us a concrete that will tell us about the cost. “Unfortunately, COVID-19 restriction leading to lockdown in airspace prevented that from happening. As soon as this is lifted globally, these technical people would come in to do their job,” he explained.

Meanwhile, the Federal Minister of Justice has been mandated to study all previous agreements that could serve as an encumbrance to the realisation of the project and resolve them once and for all.
