Party, President Goodluck Jonathan, has said that he has

speech in 2011.
He also said the Federal Government would soon come up

would be assembled in Nigeria.
He added that the Federal Government would mandate
vehicle assembly plants in the country to source 65 per
cent of their raw materials within the country to boost
industrialisation, employment generation and economic
development.
Jonathan spoke in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, during the
PDP presidential campaign rally.
The President also said if re-elected, his administration
would show greater commitment to sectors that were
critical to Nigeria’s economy.
He reiterated his commitment to addressing insurgency,
corruption and other developmental challenges of the
country.
He said the Federal Government was committed to
reactivating the Ajaokuta Steel Company in Kogi State to full
production capacity so that more jobs would be available to
the jobless people and also to boost the economy of Nigeria
and that of Kogi State.
According to him, all the legal tussles surrounding the ailing
Ajaokuta Steel Company had been resolved.
He appealed to the electorate in the state to vote him for
another term. He claimed that he had fulfilled all the
promises he made during his inauguration speech in 2011.
Jonathan said, “The legal process of Ajaokuta Steel
Company has been completed. Investors can now come in
and harness the opportunities that abound in the iron ore
company.
“We are coming up with automobile policy where vehicles
will be assembled in the country. With that, Ajaokuta Steel
Company will be empowered to produce iron sheets.”
