The Minister of State for Steel Development, Maigari Ahmadu, said the Federal Government is set to revamp the country’s steel sector to enhance the economy, create employment opportunities and speed up industrialisation.
Ahmadu stated this during a familiarisation visit to the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo today, saying that he recognises the state as a cluster of industrial development in the country, stating that the steel sector will be revived.
The Minister, who had earlier conducted round facilities at the Metallurgical Training Institute in Onitsha, expressed optimism that both the federal and state governments would help scale up interest in skills acquisition and liaise with the institute, as a way to eradicate poverty.
He revealed that the visit was the first facility tour he would be embarking on under his watch, saying that it was a result of a carefully planned agenda, expressing optimism that the present government will turn the fortunes of the industry around.
