The 1980s clearly marked a remarkable watershed in the history of Nigeria's developmnent. The nation's significant endeavours in the industrial and technological spheres received added driving force during the decade. Indeed, the era witnessed the systematic exploration and exploitation of the country's immense mineral resources to achieve well articulated national goals.The inception of the present administration in 1985 saw the nation recording giant strides in her determined journey towards self-reliance in the strategic sectors of mining, power supply and steel development. In the past seven years (1985-1992), the Federal Ministry of Power and Steel has been involved in the great national endeavours of transforming Nigeria into an industrial and technological success. This handbook is set out to chronicle and highlight these aspirations, achievements, challenges and prospects of this endeavour.
