Transportation University To Be Completed In September 2021 – FG

The Federal Government on Saturday said the
Transportation University being constructed in Daura, Katsina
State, will be ready by September 2021.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, made the disclosure
in Katsina during an inspection of the project.

The $50m project is a corporate social responsibility project of
CCECC, the Chinese company handling the nation’s rail project.

Mr Amaechi explained that the Chinese company just got approval
from the Katsina State Government as proper construction commences
next month.

The Minister added that the CCECC will provide the manpower and
technical skills for five years before the federal government will
be able to take over.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the university was done by
President Muhammadu Buhari in December 2019, but the coronavirus
pandemic stalled efforts on the project.

A Courtesy Call

Mr Amaechi visited Katsina on Saturday with a team of
consultants to pay a courtesy call to Governor Aminu Masari.

The Minister thanked the Governor for his support in making the
project see the light of day.

In his response, Governor Masari thanked the Federal Government
for the decision to establish the Transport University in
Daura.

According to the governor, opportunities that come with
education are limitless.

He assured the Minister of his administration’s commitment to
making sure that the State remains hospitable to the project’s
success.

Located in Sandamu Local Government Area in Daura Emirate, the
specialised university will help the country build a retinue of
competent railway engineers who can maintain and improve on the
country’s new rail infrastructure, Mr Amaechi has said.

Amaechi also noted that about 150 Nigerians are presently
studying in China through University scholarships paid for by
CCECC.
