Dearest #Nigerians, We did a good job spreading my post "Time to Break the Conspiracy Surrounding Ajaokuta" found here https://www.facebook.com/NatashaAkpoti/posts/10154065985231758
Hon. Min. Dr. Fayemi got to read it and your comments too. To this, while defending the budget, he spent quite some time yesterday at the National Assembly talking, for the FIRST time, about the (partly) true reasons why the government cannot revive #Ajaokuta now. This truth the minister decided to speak out is the legal case between GSHL (GIHL) the Indians and FG of Nigeria I mentioned in my post.
Few words for Hon. Minister Dr. #Fayemi:
1. Thank you for corroborating my statement on the fact that Global Infrastructure (GHSL) is holding Nigerian government to ransom over the Ajaokuta/ Itakpe's arbitration.http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/197876-ajaokuta-steel-company-wont-function-immediately-minister.html . Now, Nigerian's are fully aware that all the previous posts in the media was cool air blown on Nigerians' wounds. Sir it isn't going to work anymore.
However sir, you mentioned that you would need 1 year to clear the legal hurdles surrounding Ajaokuta. 1 year is too much a time sir. Nigerian's do not have 1 more year to waste over a legal contract entered into without the best interest of Nigeria at the soul of it. We know its quite uneasy for you; uneasy so because GHSL has powerful "godfathers" and their legal counsel is a Special Adviser to the president himself; and ironically on matters relating to the improvement of social welfare for the common man. We plead with Mr. President, the Attorney General and your kind self to please expedite the termination of every legal agreement with the Indian company. Nigerian's are fast losing their patience.
2. Hon. Minister, you also mentioned that the Federal Government has spent over $10b on Ajaokuta from inception till date http://newtelegraphonline.com/fg-spent-10-bn-ajaokuta-fayemi/. Sir, you know that by and large, more than half of the $10b was fraudulently embezzled by those we entrusted our sovereign wealth with. It is wrong to add the Abacha loot, #SolGas and now GHSL erroneous expenditures to the supposed money "spent" on the Ajaokuta steel plant. At this time I wish Ajaokuta Steel were a human being and could speak for itself. Pity.
TPE Russia has built over 40 steel plants around the world, Ajaokuta is the only one they never completed and commissioned. Nigeria Why???
Maybe its time Nigerian's got a glimpse of the legal contract between GSHL and Nigeria.
