on Wednesday that the multi-billion dollars Ajaokuta Steel Complex in
Kogi State might be bogged down by demons and requires special prayers
for it to deliver on its set objectives.
He expressed his concerns when members of the Kogi State caucus in the
House paid him a visit.
"I don't know if there are demons besetting that place that is making
things difficult to work out there.
"Apart from hoping that things will change in that place, I also feel
we should employ prayers for the complex to be restored.
"We all know what Ajaokuta stands for, and we are putting it to paper
and debate it. By that, I mean the sectoral debate that we have
proposed in our legislative agenda", Dogara stated.
The caucus, led by Mr. Bubba Jibril, complained to the speaker that
the delay in the completion of the steel complex was compounding the
unemployment situation of the country.
"It is estimated that about 50,000 engineers can be engaged with about
another 40, 000 workers as support staff in Ajaokuta Steel.
"It has three turbine plants, which if harnessed, can supply
uninterrupted power to Benue, Kwara and some parts of Anambra", Jibril
added.
