Buhari meets with reps of Min of Transport, queries diversion of foreign loans for rail project

President Buhari and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo met with officials from the Transport and National Population Commission at The Presidential Villa, Abuja today. He queried the diversion of $600m from a $1 billion loan collected from the Chinese Exim Bank meant to be used for the construction of a standard gauge rail line linking Lagos to Kano.

President Buhari expressed his displeasure at the development when he met with representatives of the Ministry of Transport at the state house Abuja earlier today.

“I hope that due process was followed before such diversions were carried out. Taking 

money from one project to another has to be done properly,” he said.
