Abstract

Infrastructure development is the hub of economic diversification, for any nation to grow economically; it must be seriously dependent on its iron and steel development. The construction of the Ajaokuta iron and steel industry can be dated and traced to the year 1979 and as of 1994, the project was near completion with 98% of the project almost completed. As of 2018, the project is yet to be completed. The gap between 1979 through 1994 to 2018 gives the Nation a whole cause to worry thereby implying whether the delay in the work is due to the incompetency of the contractors in question or is it due to bad governance and suspected looting. This paper, therefore, applies the use of the popular Critical Path Method (CPM) in monitoring the progress of the yet-to-be-completed Ajaokuta project focusing on its possible network diagram, earliest and latest time of completion.
