Nigeria to start Transport University, Daura this September, according to the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi. How I wish they would stop this escalating bureaucracy and put that money in the departments of Transport Management in FUT Minna, FUT Yola (MAUT), FUT Bauchi (ATBU), FUTO, and FUTA. These five universities have solid transportation management programs that can be expanded. A new university means new VC, bursar, etc and just colossal inefficiency.

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Friday, said the groundbreaking of the Transport University, Daura, would take place in Septemeber.

Mr Amaechi disclosed this while inspecting Lagos -Ibadan rail line construction.

The minister said the ministry would also establish a factory in Kajola, Ogun, to produce materials for the rail project.

What is wrong with Nigeria?

Leadership, as Our Late Writer rightly said is the problem of Nigeria. Our Leaders are the wrong thing about Nigeria. As I read through the post, I didn't know whether to laugh at what an 'experienced, educated' adult (minister) is saying with his mouth or to be angry. But alas, I weep for Nigeria.
