Activities within the nation’s steel sector will remain paralysed for the time being as the industry is still smarting from the rippled effects of the ravaging coronavirus which has continue to take its toll on its operations within the past seven months

, The Nation has learnt.

Okojie noted that during the period of shutdown, there was no production, stressing that production processes was also completely shut down thereby causing the sector a huge setback as workstations are expected to be heated 365 days of the year. “Now that the curfew has been lifted, it possible to run the factory but below capacity, we are only functioning at less that 30 percent capacity. This is because number of persons that will operate in the factory at a time has been limited to 25 persons at a time due to the Covid-19 regulation.
