Demand for steel is very high in Africa and in Nigeria in particular [‘Steely reserve required for takeoff’, TAR68 Mar 2015]. Africa’s failure to meet the needs of the steel industry holds back its economy and is a result of successive governments neglecting this priority. Apart from Egypt and South Africa, African nations are conspicuously missing from the 2014 World...
