President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Nasir Abdulsalam as the Managing Director of Ajaokuta Steel Company.

The Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, stated this in a statement on Friday.

Imohisen stated that Abdulsalam’s appointment takes effect from April 3, 2025, and it aligns with the provisions of Certain Political and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.) Act 2008, as amended.

The statement reads, “Abdulsalam, a seasoned expert in the steel industry, previously served as the Technical Adviser to the Minister of Steel Development and as Special Assistant (Academics) to the Director General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies.”

“President Tinubu charged Abdulsalam with revitalising Ajaokuta Steel Company to drive industrial and economic activities that will support Nigeria’s ambition to become Africa’s leading industrial hub.

“The move is part of the administration’s broader Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasises economic diversification and industrialisation.”

The Ajaokuta Steel Company, often regarded as Nigeria’s most ambitious industrial project, has long been positioned as a key player in the nation’s economic transformation.
