In a statement released by the Ministry of Transportation, the meeting focused on evaluating both completed and ongoing railway projects in Nigeria. The gathering provided an opportunity for the Ministry and CCECC to share experiences, address challenges, and discuss strategies for overcoming obstacles in the execution of key projects.
“The exchange was fruitful, focusing on improving efficiency and ensuring the successful implementation of future projects,” the statement noted.

The statement concluded that the successful meeting has paved the way for a new era of cooperation between Nigeria and China in railway infrastructure development. As the partnership deepens, Nigerians can expect improvements in transportation networks, economic growth, and national development.
