Brief on university of transportation Daura
The idea of establishing the Federal University of Transportation, Daura, Katsina State, the first of its kind in Nigeria, and Africa as a whole, thus transforming Nigeria into a knowledge hub for transportation industry in Africa, was conceived during the Contract negotiation of the Lagos to Kano Railway Modernization Project on 15th May 2018 between the Federal Ministry of Transportation and Messrs China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC Nigeria Ltd) with sole purpose of technology transfer in the area of transportation. The building of the University is aimed at properly safeguarding and sustaining the huge investment of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the transportation sector, while addressing the need for a transport-focused education, training, and research-based institution to compliment the dearth of human capacity in the transportation sector with a deepened focus on the Nation’s rejuvenated railways
Current Infrastructure
The Federal University of Transportation Daura (FUTD) is located about 5 Km along Kano Road from the City of Daura in Katsina State. The University is situated on a 280.58Ha piece of land located in the present-day Sandamu Local Government Area, Katsina State, and the Certificate of Occupancy (C of
O) signed by the former Executive Governor of Katsina, Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari on the 28th of July 2020 has since been issued to the Federal Ministry ofTransportation.
