The federal government Friday assured its Indonesian
counterpart of its preparedness to partner with the Indonesian business
community to develop the transportation sector in Nigeria.
This was made known by the Minister of Transportation, Mr.
Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, while receiving in audience the Indonesian Ambassador
to Nigeria, Retno L.P Marsudi, who paid him a courtesy call in his office.
Amaechi, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary,
Sabiu Zakari, stated that Nigeria and Indonesia have long standing similarities
in both natural and human resources that can be used as a tool to develop and
promote trade and investment between the two countries.
According to the minister, “Nigeria is ever ready to
collaborate with Indonesia to address infrastructural challenges in the
maritime, aviation and rail sub-sectors of the nation’s economy.”
He said: “There are a lot of potentials in the
transportation sector which the Indonesian business community can tap into for
investment opportunities. The federal government has recently awarded
concession of the narrow gauge rail lines to an American company, General
Electric (GE).”
