A lot of commendations and encomiums has been trailing the visit of Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to Ajaokuta Steel Company in Kogi State but not many are aware that the visit of that August visitor is an off – shot of a motion that emanated from Honourable Hassan A. Omale, the member representing Ankpa, Omala and Olamaboro federal constituency.
The eloquent legislator in his characteristic behaviour of striving to ensure that not just his constituents but Nigeria at large benefits from his green chamber activities moved a motion calling on the Federal Government to conclude the Ajaokuta project, the rail connecting Otukpa- Ajaokuta and all projects abandoned in all states of our country to avoid the monumental waste.
The Speaker,been moved by the humongous economic value of Hon Hassan Omale’s motion said, “I will lead all the members of House Committee on Steel and all representatives from Kogi state to have an on-the-spot assessment of Ajaokuta steel”
“We shall give the federal government all the required legislative backing to ensure that the project is concluded.”
The speaker further added that there is no better time than now when the Federal Government is embarking on projects like the mambilla hydro power project and others in the country.
He also said it will be a monumental waste if the country is to embark on purchasing steel for those projects from other countries of the world when we are naturally blessed with abundant iron ore.
The Speaker and the committee which has Hon. Lawal Idris, member representing Ajaokuta Federal constituency, Hassan Omale, who moved the motion, and other House members from Kogi state  actualised the visit to Ajaokuta steel on 12th February 2018.
The actualisation of Ajaokuta project which will have an immense economic value to Kogi state and Nigeria at large will in turn add a meritorious feather to the cap of Honourable Hassan A. Omale
