Nigeria to Get University of Transportation

Exciting news comes after a groundbreaking ceremony in Daura: Nigeria is set to establish a University of Transportation in Daura, Katsina State. President Muhammadu Buhari was in attendance, and the new university will be built at the site of his hometown. The government will facilitate all necessary supportive functions to ensure the establishment of the University. During the ceremony, the president talked of his administration's "commitment to prioritizing the participation of indigenes and application of local content to the development of infrastructure".

Nigeria's Minister for Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, also had some input to add, exclaiming that the move to build the university was fueled by a need for Nigerian talent to maintain the infrastructures built in the country. Maintenance and management of Nigeria's infrastructure is key as it is vast and ever-growing, and increasing education will help provide a method for the madness.
