- Minister of Transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, on Tuesday listed the importance of rail transport for Nigeria’s ailing economy, adding that previous administrations did not show the desired interest in the rail transport system.
The minister spoke at the commissioning of the dual-rail standard of Abuja-Kaduna rail transport system.
Amaechi noted that it took 10 years for the project to be completed, blaming previous administrations for not putting the needed efforts to see to its success.
He said, “Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo started the project, it was partially executed by the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan and completed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The parts that were inspected and commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan, under the directives of President Buhari, the stations, signalling, communication and part of the drags were completed by President Buhari.”
“The locomotive and coaches arrived in May, and between June and July, we have commenced fire offs. We conveyed over 500 passengers per trip, twice a day for a Month.”
The Minister, however, thanked president Buhari, the Chinese experts and Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun for their immense support towards the completion of the project.
He further pointed out that the railway system will help to resuscitate the ailing economy, adding that Agricultural produce, housing accommodation will enjoy a major boost.
He added, “The rail transport system is meant to reduce the problem of housing as Nigerians who work in Abuja may now decide to live in Kaduna and shuttle Abuja.
“It will also aid in transporting Agricultural produce.
“The Abuja-Kaduna road will now last longer as heavy cargoes will now be transported by rail,” he concluded.

Bloody political harlot

Amechi should just shut up.

And to think that this same idiotic Amaechi of a minister left an uncompleted multi-billion monorail project that he being the current minister of transport never deemed it fit to complete same is really sad the level politics of hate have descended to in Nigeria.APC reeks of hypocrisy,stupidity & vendetta.I spit on you-Amaechi.

I reside in kubwa Abuja (one of the towns that the rail line passed through) and I will tell you that the rail project shouldn't have taken more than 3 yrs owing to the fact that it was a short distance rail project. however, monies were continually budgeted every year for the same purpose without full implementation which has a result made the project to stay up to 6 yrs without completion. Has anybody ever asked this question "where did jonathan not complete and commission his projects even though he knew that he will boost his campaign " PDP believed in business as usual where they embezzled a lot and give little to the electorates to bribe their way in. they prefer to bribe electoral officers rather than embarking and completing a capital project.
Every government has its aims and objectives. some are just good as a starter while others are FINISHERS.
God Bless Nigeria
