Niger State has allocated 500 hectares of land to Abuja Steel Mills Limited for a massive solar-powered steel facility and new industrial park.
The project will combine large-scale steel manufacturing with a dedicated solar plant, aiming to reduce reliance on Nigeria's unreliable electricity grid.
This initiative aligns with the state's broader plan to become a key industrial corridor, supported by additional land, gas pipeline access, and hydro assets.
Officials highlight the role of steel and renewable energy investments in achieving Nigeria's goal of building a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
