Bello in a statement, said the comment by the Kaduna state government official is disappointing considering the heavy investments by some committed industrialists in Nigeria.
Bello further added that Liquid Steel production has become a common trade in Nigeria steel sector with Ajaokuta Steel Company and Delta steel using it to produce billets before shutting down operations.
He noted that the proposed investment in Kaduna is just a mere minning site, an investment far different and below the existing ones across the nation stressing that the total of the production capacity of the above mentions companies is about 6.5Milion Tons per annum.
