FG Orders The Immediate Reopening Of Obajana Cement Plant

The Federal Government has directed that the Obajana cement plant that was shut by the Kogi State Government should be reopened with immediate effect.

Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, announced this on Friday at the end of the National Security Council.

The Kogi State Government and Dangote Group have been at loggerheads over the ownership of the Obajana Cement Company.

However, the minister said, “The council noted the development in Kogi and has ordered the reopening of the cement factory that is closed down and has advised that all issues related to that industry or factory should be resolved in accordance with the law, legally.

“Nobody must take the law into their own hands, either as a government or an individual. We are committed to guaranteeing and providing employment for Nigerians, whatever will hinder that or impede that must be discouraged”.
