As part of its corporate social responsibility, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), the company handling the double-track standard gauge railway from Lagos to Kano, had offered to sponsor selected young Nigerians to study railway engineering in China.
However, instead of making the offer open for interested candidates to apply, the ministry of transportation contacted ministers and top government officials asking them to nominate candidates for the scholarship.
Consequently, interested candidates thronged the Ministry of Transportation with their applications, but they were told there was scholarship application going on.
Premium Times also obtained copies of the list of the candidates that had already been selected by CCECC for the interview. Each candidate’s was listed alongside the government official that nominated him or her.
“Only the persons whose names were on the document were allowed for the interview at the firms’ office in Abuja,” the newspaper reported.
Another scandal.
