President Bola Tinubu has assured that the Ibadan-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano railway project would be completed to the satisfaction of Nigeria and West Africa at large.

The President acknowledged the role of the company as a reliable partner in Nigerias infrastructure development programme, and commended its on-going railway projects in Nigeria.
He assured the Chairman of CRCC, Dai Hegen, saying: It is equally very important that we give assurances to the Nigerian people across our local communities that the Ibadan-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano railway segments will be completed and done to the satisfaction of Nigeria and West Africa at large. We will support your investment in solid minerals and other ventures in Nigeria. I am here to assure you that Nigeria is ready to do business with you”.
Hegen informed the President that CRCC had been involved in Nigeria for 43 years, implementing over 300 projects and training over 100,000 local workers.
Similarly, President Tinubu visited Huawei Technologies Beijing Research Centre, where the company announced the launch of DigiTruck, a mobile ICT classroom aimed at enhancing digital literacy in underserved Nigerian communities.
During the Presidents meeting with Huaweis leadership, led by Chairman of the Board of Directors, Liang Hua, the company said the initiative would operate in 10 states annually, training at least 3,000 students each year. He said Huawei was prepared to offer its ICT expertise and partner the Nigerian government to support the country in achieving its policy objectives and further its digital, intelligent, and low-carbon development.
