Sincere 9gerian: Very shameful indeed. 14yrs after ACN rule and 6yrs of emperor Fashola's reign they'r still looking for FUNDS to complete the Lagos light rail project. Very very shameful. What have they been doing since 1999? And to now imagine that the same project would have been completed in the 80s by Jakande (God bless him)?

Meanwhile, the GEJ they so much hate has achieved the following in the rail transport sector in just under 3yrs:

The Lagos-Kano rail has been COMPLETED and commissioned. The govt spent a whopping N24billion to rehabilitate and restore the Lagos-Kano narrow guage rail line after decades of dilapidation.

The line has been operating since December last year and is always filled to the brim

Other massive interventions in the rail sector include:

**Inter-city passenger train services have been introduced in Minna-Kaduna route, Kaduna-Kano route and Kano-Nguru route; while intra-city services are already operational in Lagos, Kaduna and Kano states.

The Minna-Kaduna route for instance generates about N500,000 per trip up from initial N14,000 per trip when train services started along that route about a year ago.

**Abuja-Kaduna fast rail line now at 50% completion.

**mass transit Abuja Light Rail system is expected to be completed in 2014

**The Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail line (fast line) was recently COMPLETED.

**Port-Harcourt-Enugu-Makurdi-Lafia-Jos-Gombe-Maiduguri rail-line is expected to be completed late 2013.

While all these are happening the clueless Lagos gangs are still searching for N400billion from the private sector to complete the Lagos light rail project. Very very shameful

CFCfan: I'm definitely not holding brief for the AD/ACN Lagos administrations of the past 14 years; but N400bn is a gargantuan sum of money which NO state govt in Nigeria can afford to splash on a single project. That amount is even bigger than d budgets of MOST states in Nigeria. Sometimes, it's necessary to solicit funds from the private sector to construct public infrastructure.
The proposed 4th mainland bridge (which will be 15 miles in length) will reportedly cost over $1bn, representing 25% of the state's annual budget. There is no way the LASG will commit such a huge sum of money to a single project too.

Nonetheless, I give the FG kudos for embarking on an aggressive railway modernization program, which I hope will be sustained and possibly improved upon by the introduction of either High-speed rail or 'Medium'-speed rail coaches. I'll suggest that the HSR should only be deployed in lucrative routes, such as Lagos-Onitsha, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Warri, Abuja, Kano etc.

Omo_Tier1:
Why bother reply a certificated e-diot He is falsehood personified, hence He had to convinced himself otherwise by naming Himself insincere9gerian.

You would be giving Him an honour not deserving by replying His posts on this matter. The truth remains, Lagos is setting the standard for others to follow.

kunlekunle:


youve never been a sincere nigerian.
rail projects are almost an ever growing and expanding project.
Hes sourcing funds for other line.
for your information, the sum of 4.3billion dollars would be reqd to connect the whole yorubaland and the fed govt can do the brigdes to the north and east.

Prof Corruption:

Insincere9gerian is now a laughing stock

Sincere 9gerian: Why are the vultures avoiding this thread? Where is the "Eko oni ba je" crew? They should tell us why their Lagos gods can still not complete Lagos railway project 14yrs after. Why are they still sourcing for N400billion 14yrs after? They seem to be clueless

Sincere 9gerian:
14yrs after ACN clueless rule no 4th mainland bridge, unending railway project and no international Airport. No major completed project since 1999. Why? Very shameful

Prof Corruption:



Insincere9gerian has missed road again

Prof Corruption: Insincere9gerian take a pen and write this down:

1. You would be more effective if you could "diversify" your criticism. Your fixation on Fasola, an acknowledged performer, would achieve very little. It will take years to change opinion of many on what Fasola is to Nigerians. But many will easily see you as a paid agent crying wolf when there is none.

2. Criticize some PDP governors once in a while. Majority of PDP governors are not doing well. There are plenty candidates you can feast on. This might show you in a glaring manner that the crime you accused others of, you are equally guilty of it.

3. Try to place less emphasis on personality or geopolitical posturing. Instead, concentrate on party like many of us have been doing calling PDP a nest of killers, an assembly of criminals, a synagogue of rogues and a fortress for election riggers.

4.Now thank me for this evening course on criticism.

Sincere 9gerian:
Why not create another thread for your "ACN course on criticisms". As for this particular thread, it is about rail transport and the inability of your Lagos gods to complete the Lagos light rail project after 14yrs of clueless rule. Now, they'r searching for N400billion loan. What a shame.

This is becoming boring and lame now!

Sincere 9gerian:
Look who's talking- Prof Boring himself

striker07: what we should ask is this? is the amount high or not too high for the project? Do Lagos have to borrow all the money for the contract sum considering its huge monthly revenue?

The Infrastructure Bank, which was opened in 1992, was initially named Urban Development Bank. The bank was established to bankroll infrastructure development in Nigeria. Meanwhile, an engineer with Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) revealed that the first phase of the Lagos light rail project will be ready for commuters' use by the end of June, this year. The engineer, who preferred anonymity, said: "The work is in three phases.

thelastPope: You ACN rascals really think this your tactics of trying to derail threads against your pay masters will work abi?

Discuss the topic or shift yo one side. Please Sincere Nigerian, fire on! Ignore the dolt! He is a tout from surulere under bridge!
