The contract was awarded in 1979 to a Russian company called TPE. By the end of 1983, the contract had reached advanced stage, regrettably, since then it has been suffering and by 1994, TPE demobilized from site and 1996, the contract was determined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSubsequently, various administrations have tried to revive the Ajaokuta steel complex without much success. However, you will recall that Mr. President was on a state visit to Russia on the 22nd and 24th October 2019 and here it was resolved that Ajaokuta steel complex which the Federal Government has made massive investment must be resuscitated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegrettably COVID-19 has slowed down the efforts of the ministry of mines to bring this to fruition. However, today, the council has approved the award of contract not just for Ajaokuta but for the iron ore in Itakpe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that with this development, we would have made significant step in bringing back to life both the Ajaokuta and the iron ore company in Etakpe and move forward the industrial revolution of Nigeria because when these two complexes begin to function, then, not only are we going to save money in terms of foreign exchange, but we are going to see a lot of industrial development and also technology transfer\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FEC also approved revised fees payable for Mining Engineering and Geoscientific Services, which set benchmarks for professionals in the mining sector to enable them get fair remuneration for their services,\u201d Mohammed added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a contract that will ensure the revitalisation and operation of the Ajaokuta Steel Company and the National Iron Ore Complex, Itakpe in Kogi State.
