Amaechi Cancels Nigerian Maritime University(NMU) In Gbaramatu, Seeks Payment Refund

The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, said the Federal Government has cancelled then Nigerian Maritime Univeristy project proposed by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA. Amaechi, gave the hint in Abuja on Tuesday, when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Marine Transport, headed by Senator Ahmed Sani, to brief the senate panel on the activities of the agencies under his supervision. He said, “We are not going ahead with the university project proposed by NIMASA because we have an institution in Oron, we have Nigeria Institute of Transport Technology, Zaria, and we have the Nigerian College of Aviation in Zaria which we could upgrade to a University status and NIMASA is proposing to build a new one. “Who will attend the University? How many parent will allow their children to go to such place where it propose to site the University? What is the aim of the University that we cannot achieve in Oron where they have all the necessary infrastructure. ” I don’t think we are proceeding with the university being proposed by NIMASA because it is a waste of resources, and unfortunately a lot of money had already been released for the University project hence there is no structure on ground but just the feasibility study. “Whoever that is holding on to the money should better return it. The Chinese company contracted, confirmed that only the feasibility study was in place.

The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari.
