The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered him and the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, to connect the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by rail.

Amaechi made the revelation during the 15th National Council on Transportation, NCT, in Sokoto.

He said, “The President called two of us, myself and my colleague in the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; and told me specifically that I must ensure that the 36 states including Abuja are connected by rail”.

He added that the ongoing rail projects in the country would create employment opportunity for the teeming youths.

He said that to grow the economy effectively and efficiently, the railway must be developed.

Amaechi said the federal government was on the verge of signing a contract agreement with General Electric for the rehabilitation of the rail lines across the country to ensure they are put to use in the very shortest time.

He further disclosed that government has ordered more Locomotives for the Standard Gauge rail lines.

Amaechi also said the President has given approval for the construction of Abuja-Itakpe rail line, while preparation is in top gear to commence activity on the Ajaokuta-Warri line which will be completed in June 2018.

This is no development at all.

We are no longer in a military regime where he will wake up from sleep and give orders. Now there must be a process for every kobo to be spent. Now this project was not captured in the budget and has not been deliberated in the FEC yet 'he ordered'?

However there were projects budgeted for in the year 2017 let him work on those ones and solve the ASUU, NARD and other labour related issues as well as the Ogoni cleanup he flagged off.

he gave them order, quite alright...that doesn't mean that they won't put it in budget, what he mean is that , that should look for ways to make sure the 36 states are connected.

I believe that when the feasibility study is done, they can start from there. if u'll get me.

Disproofer indeed!

Guy orders no longer work in democracy. Tell him to hold FEC meeting and present a memo on that for deliberation and approval.

Reason why nigerians should speak up and challenge their government.


If not the condemnation that followed the rail project between Daura and Kano, would they have thought of a nationwide project?


Amaechi even came out in defence of the lopsided contract award claiming that Buhari was not in the know that the Daura;Kano project was awarded!
