Corruption War:Revisting Amaechi River State Monorail Project by Nobody: 5:27pm On Oct 09, 2016
He spent about $400 million out of $1bn budgeted for the project on an 6.5km monorail without completion; that's about $ 153m per km.. World's costliest rail system, This project ended up abandoned after his cronies had been paid about $300m for " consulting fees"
Ethiopia built ultra-mordern 34km rail sytem at $475m and it's working! That's about $13.9m per km... Let's stick to these numbers first.
Right next door to Rivers, in Calabar Cross River State, Intamin partnered with the government there to build a monorail system for N5 Billion (36 million dollars)! The monorail project in Rivers, is a system designed by Intamin, and is similar to the monorail that was constructed in Moscow Russia for 240 million dollars by the same monorail manufacturer.
The Calabar system is reportedly already functioning and is now conducting test runs.The system in Calabar is very similar to the monorail in Rivers state which cost 1/8th the amount that was spent in neighboring Rivers State on their monorail system that is not even working!
The EFCC, if they were not politically compromised, would have conducted an extensive investigation into the Minister, given the amount of power and influence that he now currently has.

Sorry OP, this alleged fraud was perpetrated under the watch of your hero and he chose to look the other way.

Buhari will fight corruption the way he deems fit, as long as the perpetrator is guilty of the offense.

The ph monorail is roughly 2km+ long and not 6km

The Amaechi led govt insisted/forced construction to go on even after the heavily paid consultants told the RVSG that the project wasn't financially sane.

Original contractors ran away when they saw the crazy cost

Politics aside no sane state govt can even pick up that project now. Don't let visitors and efulefu's deceive you. That project is the true definition of what a white elephant is.

At best it can be converted to a monument for sight seeing like New York statue of liberty except if the FG decides to take over the project.

For clarity the present distance is a very short bus ride from UTC to Lagos bus stop. Compare that with the billions expended already. Amaechi would have been shot if he was a Chinese official

Amaechi is a useless corrupt conman.The project was a fraud and conduit for corruption right from when it was awarded.The contracts was awarded to TSI limited owned by Brigadier-General Anthony Ukpo (Rtd) a former Military Administrator of Rivers State under Abacha.What does a soldier know about constructing a monorail.Amaechi should be spending life in prison for fraud and corruption,he is lucky he defected to APC and all his sins are washed away.

Can someone ask this person I quoted if he attended secondary school and did government as a subject?. If the boy did, he will know the difference btw federal govt and state govt affairs. Well I don't blame him, their toothless god does not apply the principles of Separation of Powers because he does know better so they think it's the norm. Please go back to school.

Buhari is a corruption sympathiser and fake corruption fighter. He turns a blind eye to Buratai,Dambazau,Usuri Usani,Baschir Lawal,Tinubu and Amaechi corruption. The only man that ever contested for the Presidency and who was going to tackle corruption holistically was the late Gani Fawehinmi who contested under NCP,but gullible Nigerians chose to give most of their votes to PDP.

This war in curruption would be so easy if it serious. The curruption is so blatent at times. Lol Buhari is yet to get any convictions or resignations. Yet they always in new telling the people about the mountains of evidence they have. They need to quit the theatrics and quietly catch these crooks.

No need to double down on stupidity. You're under no obligation to defend crooks unless your their lawyer or accomplice.

Well if this is true then wike should just call the contractors to come n finish tgere work... If they refuse then then take them to court.. .

If yhe money was psid to the contractors then that's not corruption (atleast it cant be proven)

Wike if he knows this is d truth should call them to finish there work.. . That's all
