As the newly inaugurated ministers assume duties, a group, Association of Iron and Steel Fabricated Metal Products ( AISFMP), has urged the ministers to hit the ground running in their various ministries to ensure the realisation of the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The AISFMP in a statement signed by its national chairman, Dr. Kamoru Yusuf, specifically called on the Ministers of Mines and Steel Development, Honourable Olamilekan Adegbite and his counterpart in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo to come up with concrete policies and programmes that will resuscitate the steel sector and the entire manufacturing sector .
The group noted that a realistic policy framework from Minister of Steel and his counterpart in Trade and Investment would be complementary in promoting the economic diversification plan of the government.
“Mines and Steels is one of the bedrocks of the Nigeria economy which needs serious attention due to the numerous challenges posing threats to the growth and development of Steel Industries in the country.
“As one of the major players in the nation’s economy, we deem it fit to be given adequate attention in the interest of nation-building and in particular, economic revival.
“We congratulate the new ministers especially the duo of Honourable Olamilekan Adegbite and Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, for their well-deserved appointments, we urge them to study the Industrial Roadmap Revolution for the sector among others.
” It is our hope that they will use their rich experiences towards achieving the goals of the sector.”
The group assured the ministers of their readiness to support them in their tasks towards nation-building process stressing that adequate consultation should be adopted in a bid to tackling the prevailing problems facing the sectors which has led to the collapse of many indigenous industries in the country.
Dr. Yusuf also called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to put the newly inaugurated Ministers on their toes for the actualisation of the next agenda policy of the government just as he called for the provision of enabling an environment for private investors to thrive.
