(Lagos) A Chinese company will take up construction work of two
railway projects in Nigeria, said Nigerian Minister of Transportation Rotimi
Amaechi Wednesday in an interview with CNBC Africa. China Civil Engineering
Construction Corporation Ltd. (CCECC), one of the subsidiaries of China Railway
Construction Corporation, a state-owned construction enterprise, will undertake
the construction work of a $ 19.4 billion railway project and the work will
last two to three years.
For years we have known that investment in Africa is the way
to go, but for some very strange reason, instead of building things , which
would do that, our political elites, find numerous ways in which to hand over
money (As charity) no strings attached
in which to see the vast majority stolen. I take my hat off to China, in
actually doing something constructive for Africa which can only better the
continent.
