Calabar Mono Rail Project To Commence Operation In July 2014: by DeCleff(m): 7:36pm On Jul 22, 2014 |
The multi bilion naira first monorail project in the South-South Nigeria is to commence operations in July 2014 in Calabar, Cross River State. Initially, the 12.5-kilometre $34 million project as conceived by the Donald Duke administration was to link Margaret Ekpo International Airport to Tinapa in Adiabo in the outskirts of Calabar. But considering a lull in business activities in Tinapa, the project had to be redesigned and expanded to cover most busy streets of Calabar Municipality and Calabar-South. Special Adviser to Governor Liyel Imoke on Special Projects, Mr. Clement Akwaji, who disclosed this to reporters on a special media tour of government projects in the state said under the new arrangement, the monorail is meant to reduce problems and cost of intra- city transportation drastically. He said that soon, the state government would sign a concession arrangement with Globin Corporation of Canada that will fund and manage the new monorail concept under which the distance is extended to 25.5 kilometres instead of the initial 12.5kilometres. He could not give the current cost of the project but The Guardian gathered that taking everything into consideration, the new city line would gulp not less than $80 million. According to him, “the old concept left out high density area and was restricted to Tinapa but the new concept is a city line cutting through four stations starting from Atimbo round about, University of Calabar gate, Cross River University of Technology gate, Mbukpa and will terminate at Tinapa”.
