The Federal Government has warmly received 72 Nigerian graduates who completed their training in Railway Engineering and related transportation courses in China, sponsored by the China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) as part of its corporate social responsibility.

Olujimi Oyetomi, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Transportation, made this announcement in a statement issued on Saturday. The training initiative was highlighted during an event where Senator Said Alkali, the Minister of Transportation, underscored the importance of the National Local Content Policy for the Railway sector, established in 2018.

The Minister emphasized the success of the Ministry’s initiatives, noting that the training program in China signifies a significant stride towards enhancing indigenous capacity in the railway industry.
