Ogun State government, Monday, signed a $3.2
billion light rail project contract with Chinese
Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC)
for the intracity and intercity rail network in the
state.

The state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun,
while signing the contract at his office, Oke-
Mosan, Abeokuta, with Consul General , the
People’s Republic of China in Lagos, Kan Liu
said the project would cover cities such as
Abeokuta, Sagamu, Ijebu Ode, Idi-iroko among
others.

According to Amosun, when completed, the
project will take pressures off the roads as well
as open up the cities for further development.
The Governor said that within the next three
years, the Abeokuta intra city Project would
have taken shape.

He added that the contractors would be
encouraged to ensure that feasible development
of the project is witnessed by the time Ogun
State celebrates its 40th anniversary next year.

The project which has two phases will be have one
aspect cutting across the entire cities in the
state, while the other phase will be for the
Abeokuta intra city light rail. Governor Amosun
however assured that all ongoing roads and bridge
projects in the state would be completed with the
laying of the final asphalt, before the
commencement of new projects.

While giving insight to the scope of the project
noted that at first instance the intracity rail
network that would commence from Abeokuta-
sagamu- -Ilaro-Ota and Idiroko would be the
priority of the State in the next 2-3 years while
the intercity network to Lagos and other
neighbouring states which may stretch to about 8
years would follow.

Chairman CCECC, Mr. Cao Bao Gang said the
company was fully ready to work with the Ogun
Government noting that they more motivated to
do the job because the Governor was focused and
determined to make life better for the people.
Gang said the intra city Rail network was
achievable within three years and the company
would also help the state to raise fund for the
project.
