Let the Russians resuscitate it, operate it and lets share in the profit. No more public funds should be spent on it. Alternatively let,s partner with any interested firm in the world to complete Ajaokuta, run, and operate it.

All the Rolling Mills and support plants like Itakpe are moribund,it is a colossal waste.
