Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that the Portuguese company in charge of the construction of the Kano-Maradi rail line, would build a Multi-Disciplinary university in Rivers State.
Amaechi, who disclosed this in a Tweet today, said construction of the University is part of the company’s corporate Social Responsibility to Rivers people and Nigerians.
“We already have a Transportation University being built in Daura. So, we have decided that the Portugese Company in charge of Kano-Maradi rail line, Mota Engil will build a Multi-disciplinary University in Rivers State as a major component of their Corporate Social Responsibility,” he tweeted.
Construction of the rail project would start on Tuesday, as the president is expected to flag off the project virtually.
