A rail line connecting Makurdi in Nigeria’s central region to Port Harcourt in the south has become operational, adding to the number of rail lines that the Nigerian government has resuscitated in the last few years.

Commissioning the Makurdi- Port Harcourt rail line in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State on Monday, Vice President Namadi Sambo said the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration had vowed to continue with the transformation agenda in the area of rail transport system until all Nigerians have access to train services. Mr Sambo said that the Federal Government would ensure the completion of another line, the Port Harcourt through Enugu-Makurdi to Kaduna line, before the end of President Jonathan’s administration.
The Vice President also declared that all rail network from the eastern rail line, through Makurdi to Kaduna and linking Kano to Lagos western line would all be connected.

For the host governor, Mr Gabriel Suswam, it was a dream come true, as he had the opportunity to ride on the train for the first time.
He said that President Jonathan’s administration had restored the rail system for Nigerians.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation gave further assurances that the train would keep running twice a week along the route, noting that the failed cooling system in one of the five coaches will be rectified.
After cutting the tape, the Vice President, in company of the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, including former chairman, Bamanga Turkur, Senators’ Ahmadu Ali, Idris Umar and the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, took a test drive to the administrative office of the Corporation in Makurdi.

The newly introduced five coaches train of 68 seater imported from China, according to the managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, is part of the completion process of the Makurdi-Port Harcourt eastern line that will link several communities.

Some myopic and disgruntled elements are now claiming that the trains are moved to different locations for campaign purposes
.
.
Some people are really dumb beyond words

This was the sad tale that befell our railways during the regime of the reTIRED general wanting to come back and destroy the good works done by the Jonathan administration

The refurbished trains have arrived grin

No doubt, GEJ has performed in the railway sector, but it is far from good enough reason to earn my vote tongue

while some "Hades" and "Medusas" in form of humans are hell-bent in ensuring that the evil-minded wizard that terminated the Lagos metro rail project even when the country paid a whooping sum of $500million for breech of contract should hold the mantle of leadership.

This is the GREATEST LIE OF THE 21st CENTURY!! Gosh!!! I've been in Makurdi for the past One Week and not even a SINGLE such train has rolled over the tracks!! This is a slap in the face of Nigerians. Haba! Jonathanians are disgusting liars.

The bridge in Otukpo over which the tracks to PH pass is completely impassable!! Are the train coaches equipped with rotors for them to fly when they get to that bridge

And which tracks are the trains gonna be cruising on?? These tracks whose pics I took myself on arrival in the town about a week ago?? www.nairaland.com/2107345/pictures-jonathans-transformation-rails

Is this not the same train that I read from an earlier article, was demobilized from another site just for their usual propaganda commissioning.

Read this: https://www.nairaland.com/2118861/gej-transformation-trains-myth-real#30225803

Shame on PDP for their cheap propaganda.
