Onuesoke calls for revitalization of Delta Steel Complex

By Ephraim Oseji
Delta State Peoples Democratic (PDP) Governorship Aspirant in 2007 general election, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has appealed to the Federal Government to revitalize the moribund Delta Steel Complex (DSC)   situated in Ovwian/Aladja, Delta State.

Onuesoke   made the call     when Udu Youths   agitating for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election in   2015   visited his office in Warri, Delta State   asking   him to call on the Federal Government to reform the moribund DSC   located in their community.

Onuesoke said if Delta Steel Plant was revamped,   it would play an important part for which it was originally designed to play, adding that it would     catalyse industrial development in the country.

Said Onuesoke: “Beside, the revamping of DSC will return Warri   in particular and Delta State in general to its old pride of place as people far and near will be attracted to the state as such opening road for other sources of businesses and ecocomic development. It will also create employment opportunities   for the teeming unemployed youths in the state. Federal and the state governments will also gain by  as it will lead to increase in revenue generation for both arms of government.”
