Aminat Isah, Abuja

The Federal Ministry of Transportation has debunked rumour of purported recruitment of candidates to study Railway Engineering course in China, ROYAL NEWS has learnt.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. S. Zakari refuted the claims in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday.

According to him, “It has come to the notice of the Management of the Federal Ministry of Transportation of a wide circulation on social media of a letter on sponsorship of candidates to China for Railway Engineering Course.

See letter below:

“The general public is invited to note that the Ministry never placed any advertisement on sponsorship of candidates to China for Railway Engineering Course in the media (Radio/ Television / Print /Social Media).

“That the Ministry is not receiving any application for such training from the general public.”

He therefore advised the general public to disregard any information being circulated for submission of such applications to the Ministry or any other person adding that  anyone who transacts any business to that regards does so at his/her own risk.
