Kogi Iron Ltd’s chairman, Dr Ian Burston recently attended a Nigeria hosted luncheon with Honourable Abubakar Bawa Bwari, Minister of State for Solid Materials.
During the luncheon, the mineral opportunities currently being developed in Nigeria were extensively discussed and mention was made of iron ore and the development of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project.
Kogi aims to become a producer of cast steel products by developing its 100% owned Agbaja Project in the Kogi State within the Republic of Nigeria.
Kogi’s chairman Ian Burston said: “I was delighted and honoured to meet the Minister and impressed with his knowledge of the opportunities and challenges of developing the mineral wealth of Nigeria and especially his knowledge of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project.”
Nigeria has substantial domestic demand for steel products, which is currently met largely through imports.
The Agbaja project opens the opportunity for domestic production of steel billets.
