The minister also explained that as part of plans, the federal government will be sending some students to China who will learn over there and come to lecture at the university when finally established; all cost to be handled by the Chinese government.
He noted that the present administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari was only implementing contracts awarded by past presidents, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan for railway modernisation in the country.
According to him, “prior to the resolution of the Senate, this administration had taken steps to incorporate the Eastern Corridor and indeed the North East Corridor that was not provided for at all by the previous administration in 2006 and 2014 rail projects development.”
He said: “The Coastal rail line already has its route alignment passing through Aba in Abia State and Onitsha in Anambra State, both of which are in the South East geopolitical zone. These projects for which the approval of the National Assembly of USD 5,214,914,368.33 being co-financing fund by China EXIM bank is being sought for the rail projects were neither conceived not approved under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, rather, this administration pursued the projects vigorously inview of their importance to the development of the socio-economic lives of the citizenry.”
