Meanwhile, Amaechi had in August said that over 20,000 workers were engaged for the ongoing construction of Lagos-Ibadan rail project.
He explained that the engagement was in compliance with the local content law inherent in the 1.6-billion-dollar contract agreement between Nigeria and China.
“There are over 20,000 Nigerian workers employed for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan railway project, only five-hundred and sixty of the workers on that project are Chinese,.” Amaechi said.
