“This is because the Presidents are more stable that time, especially in this two-term arrangement. They sit down and plan for the country and focus on key areas.”

The president told the traditional rulers that his administration would pay greater attention to the Ajaokuta Steel Company of Nigeria and ensure that the steel is included in the nation’s rail system if he is re-elected.

The President listed Ajaokuta Steel Company, Iron ore, steel sector, agriculture, sports and Nollywood as areas he had delivered in the last four years.

According to him, the promise to revamp Ajaokuta steel has yielded positive result and that in a short while investors will be asked to bid for the steel company in order to commence full manufacturing activities.
