University of Transportation Daura to Open September 2022

Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo said the newly established University of Transportation in Daura, Katsina State will begin academic activities in September 2022.

Sambo, who disclosed this during a visit to the university while inspecting the university project, added that the work which started a year ago is now at 60 per cent completion level.

The minister said “The company handling the project as a corporate social responsibility intends to hand over and commence the academic session in September this year. They have however asked for additional time to complete the project due to some circumstances.

“I have asked the consultant to meet the engineers and review how they can at least complete phase one of the project so that the academic session can begin”.

The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Magdalene Ajani, revealed that the university would be run by the Chinese government for two years and it will be taken over by the Federal Ministry of Education afterwards.

“The management will run the university pending all the necessary approvals from the Federal Ministry of Education,” Ajani said.
