There should be adequate security to ensure the safety of lives n properties while on board, and most especially using that means to move illegal substances to the south. Security operatives should be up and doing!

The only thing i can think of is the possibility of boko haram to use the trains to move bombs to PH without worries of road blocks. I which our security agencies see this red flag.

One thing I learnt from the life of GEJ is that If God honors a man nobody can rubbish that man. Even America+Obama +APC+World leaders +OBJ+AMAECHI+Sahara Reporters+....could not dim that light.
Indeed One with God pass majority. Thank God he did not allow it get to his head. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Re: Kano-port Harcourt Train Services Begin by OKKO(m): 7:09am On Jul 25, 2015
It took the vision of one youthful leader to bring back the railway cooperation. It can only get better if PMB continues improving it. GEJ has laid necessary platform for modernization of Nigeria...my fear is that APC/PMB is not demonstrating a clear road map. All they plan to achieve is probe one administration and spear their cronies!

See how they undermined this thread

Nigeria as a country shouldn't be celebrating over this news but since this is Nigeria, we celebrate whatever seem best to us.
of the truth, credit should be given to GEJ, but the man who deserves the credit is Late Alh musa yar'adua. if that man actually lived to fulfill his agenda as regard rail sector, we may have been upgraded to standard guage lines. Yar'adua bought 25 GE Brazilian locomotives and other rolling stocks of which most we still make use of compare to GEJ, that bought 4 Chinese locos, 2 DMU train, Chinese coaches, n rolling stocks. railway needs serious funding to meet up even to customers satisfaction. as we all expect PMB to revitalize the sector with more funding and allow the sector to be competitive, the better will there be Jobs and improvement in the NRC.

Train services from northern Nigerian State, Kano, to Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, have started, twelve years after the Nigerian government launched a revitalisation project of the railway.



The mixed service train will leave Kano to Port Harcourt every Thursday and from Port Harcourt to Kano every Tuesday.

At the commissioning ceremony of the new trains in Kano on Thursday, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Cooperation (NRC), Adesiyi Asijuwade, said train services in Nigeria was back on track.

The first Kano-Port Harcourt mixed train services was in 1914, technically carrying both passenger and goods from the north to southern part of Nigeria.

However, in view of the ongoing efforts by the NRC, train services are now being resuscitated in phases across Nigeria.

Two 68-seater air conditioned modern first class passenger couches had been put in place to traverse a rail distance of 1,139 kilometres, stretching from Kano to Port Harcourt, with stops at some cities across Kano, Kaduna and Benue among other states in the south.

Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, represented by the Speaker State House of Assembly, Alhassan Doguwa, assured the corporation of the State government’s continued support and patronage.

At the event, the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sunusi II, urged the management of the NRC to ensure continuity of the train services at an affordable price in order to allow free flow of economic exchange between the south and northern parts of Nigeria.

“We are indeed happy that train services from Kano to Port Harcourt have returned and we pray that Allah will ensure the continuity of the program and may it be a source of our economic strength,” the Emir prayed.

During the British colonial era, train services were regular and one of the best means of transportation in Nigeria, but lack of maintenance of the infrastructure led to a huge setback in that sector, forcing business owners to rely solely on the use of trucks for the movement of goods from one part of the nation to the other.

The dearth in the sector further affected the movement of agricultural produce from farm settlements that were located in towns where the rail line traverse.

The resuscitation of the train services will no doubt bring succour to farmers that may need to move produce from Kano to states along the rail line and in southern Nigeria.
