Minister Denies Diverting $3bn Railway Project From South East

The Ministry of Transportation has described as false a report claiming that Senator Said Alkali, the Minister of Transport, diverted a three billion dollar railway project from the southeast to his home state, Gombe, for political gain.

The ministry urged Nigerians to disregard the publication, describing it as false, malicious, and misleading to the public and saying it should be discarded.
