The Nigerian Metallurgical Society, NMS, has called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on the metal industry. This was part of the communique issued by the body after its Annual Conference which ended in Enugu, on Saturday. In the communique signed by the Society’s President, Engr. Prof. O.B.
Oloche, the umbrella body of all metallurgists stressed the need to revitalise the moribund metal industries in Nigeria. It said the aim of this year's conference was to challenge governments, industries, relevant metal companies, the academia, and research institutions to engage in actions that would enable the nation to become an active participant in the metal industries.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria should ensure that the Memorandum of Understanding signed in September 2024 between the original builders of Ajaokuta Steel Plant Messrs, Tyazhpromexport , members of their consortium and Nigeria for the Rehabilitation, Completion and Operation of Ajaokuta Steel Plant and National Iron Ore Mining Company in Kogi State, should be pursued to a logical and viable conclusion.
