The Federal Ministry of Transport says the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with UK company MPH Rail Development for the proposed Port Harcourt-Calabar-Enugu-Abuja standard gauge rail project is not yet cast in stone and is still being reviewed.
A statement by the ministry’s Director, Press and Public Relations, Olujimi Oyetomi explained that the MoU signed on 12th February 2024 by the Minister of Transportation, Senator Said Alkali on behalf of the Ministry, was to provide a platform for further discussion between parties to ascertain the possibility of executing the project or otherwise.
“It does not create a legal or contractual agreement neither did it commit the Federal government in any way,” the statement read in part.
