Experts lament as FG spends N20bn on idle Ajaokuta Steel in six yearsThe Federal Government allocated N20.4bn to Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited from 2016 to 2021 despite the company’s idleness. Hmmm Ajaokuta my birth place, as a child growing up, I never knew that place will become a shower of it self. I grew up in the early 90s to see Russians living among us, very fun environment as at then. The government can’t keep crying of revenue shortfalls, while haemorrhaging funds in non performing ventures. The government’s fiscal rascality should be checked. This thing isn't working, whom are they giving the money to?
