During the budget defense, the minister made clarifications on maintenance and sustainability of trains in Nigeria. 

He also reiterated the need to teach Nigerians the technical know-how on train building and maintenance.

He said, “On maintenance and sustainability, if you check the picture of my trip to China, you will see some black men with the Chinese. I told them they learned from America and you copied the Americans in producing your coaches, because when I went there, they were teaching them leadership and managing resources”.
