PREMIUM TIMES INTERVIEW: Why Jonathan could not accuse me of corruption – Amaechi

PREMIUM TIMES INTERVIEW: Why Jonathan could not accuse me of corruption – Amaechi


In this interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, speaks on the challenges and advantages of Nigeria’s latest rail transport system, Rivers State politics and the ruling All Progressives Congress.
PT: What are the challenges you have faced in this ministry?
Amaechi: Money has been the basic challenge. The contracts that you need to deliver on a railway are in tonnes of naira. Take for example the approval by the president that we should do a railway from Abuja to Lokoja to join Itakpe to Warri as well as a sea pot in Warri; that project was put at $3.1 billion, which is nearly N1 trillion. Where will you get the money from?
