The Ajaokuta Steel failed because the winners of the civil war..

Did not want to give the losing side any Economic advantage.

Everyone knows why it failed, but Failure is a ticket to feast in Nigeria.

Its Boss Mustapha's time & after him another committee will be set up.
Nigeria set Ajaokuta away from sea ports.

And away from areas with access to coal because Punishing the Igbos was the M.O in the 70s.

It was designed to fail, they know this.

But in Nigerian Politics Chaos is a Meal ticket.

Nobody profits from chaos like our leaders.
This is how it will go

They will set up committee to justify whatever money they are stealing from there

Give una okoto speech on how Ajaokuta can employ 100k Nigerians

Not one bar of steel will be refined

By 2023, a new Committee will be set up by new people

Rinse & repeat.
Our leaders will keep using the Ajaokuta format because Nigerians don't know anything about the economy.

Our education did a number on us,they know we get excited by it..

Anyways, my guys @OriginsAF have podcasts episodes on understanding our Economic climate..pls listen.
