Nigeria Minister of Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, came hard on Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transport.
At a town hall meeting in Uyo, the Akwa-Ibom State capital, organised by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Kachikwu disagreed with the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on the establishment and maintenance of the Maritime University in Akwa-Ibom.
“I disagree with the
minister of transport. Any facility in the South-south, we should work
towards developing it, I don’t care the circumstance. It is not my
business whether land was valued at 19 or 10 million,”
“That has nothing to do
with development of infrastructure. As far as I know, so much has
already gone into that, so much fiscal asset has been developed. We are
not going to throw away the baby and the bath water"
“We’ll deal with the issues but the university will be developed. If he (Amaechi) doesn’t want it in maritime, I will take it in Petroleum"
“On the issue of
negotiations, again I disagree with him. There’s no theatre in the world
where conflicts are being resolved through battle. It doesn’t matter
who’s right, who’s wrong.”
