There was jubilation among residents following the arrival of the first passenger train to Delta state yesterday night. According to reports, the train took off from Itakpe in Kogi State and travelled through a 320km rail track to Warri in Delta state. In a video footage posted online, the train which arrived in the night - sparked jubilation among residents who rejoiced as it passed through. 

It has been revealed that in the next phase, the rail track will extend to Lokoja and then to Abuja.

This is coming after the minister of transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amechi, yesterday, met with the contractors and some members of his cabinets where they tested the rail from Warri to Kogi (Ajaokuta), earlier during the day.

It was also revealed that when the Itakpe-Warri Rail is completed, commuters will be able to travel from Kogi State to delta State by Rail, passing through Ajaokuta, Uromi, Agbor, and Abraka.

this "domkopic" way you guys reason should come to a halt already.

He gave us a hint indeed. You believe that. But if this government says anything about their vision or what they'll do, you people will be first to tag them " government of we will, we shall, we would, etc" .


Give credit to whom it's due. He stayed there for 6 years, what did he do? Was the Abuja rail line started by him or OBJ? Go and learn.

Nigerians always celebrating mediocrity. We celebrate the crumbs and peanut-projects by our thieving-politicians and we forget that we deserve better. One would think that a country God has blessed with good resourses should be akin to heaven on earth.

What is the essence of a locomotive train in this era of speed and bullet trains? I guess it will take us 100 years to match this level of technology as seen in the West.

The moment we realize our worth and value as a people, there comes our freedom from the mental slavery and impoverishment in which we've found ourselves. Else, we'll keep on running in circles. Enough of the crumbs and peanut-projects. We deserve better as a people.

Bro well said. This is what am trying to let those BMC know. We deserve better than this. We shouldn't celebrate a governor making roads. It is his responsibility to do that.

has any of u thought about this? Last week, Sterling bank went to the moon, and this week we have a blood moon? what has Sterling bank done to our moon?

RAILWAY TRACKS PASSING THROUGH WARRI , ABRAKA ETC HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ON GROUND AND LEFT UNUSED OVER THE LAST 15YRS SINCE THE ERA OF OBJ. THESE WERE ALSO MAINTAINED DURING THE ERA OF GEJ.
I HAVE DRIVEN OVER (AT ABRAKA) & BELOW (AGBARHO) THESE TRACKS SEVERAL TIMES, SO APC GOVERMENT SHOULD STOP CLAMING WHAT THEY DID NOT CONSTRUCT. IT IS HOWEVER NOT OUT OF PLACE ANY RESPONSIBLE GOVT TO MAINTAIN AND REPLACE WORN OUT TRACKS.

The mofos that don't travel will come here and shout sai baba. A rail track that long took only 3 years to complete in Nigeria and these people cant even point to any project they wholly executed. Ice traveled along that route as well and I've always seen them. Even before you enter Agbarho, the over head rail track is not hard to spot. The last admin was trying to put the finishing touches and I saw work going on several times.
This might be the only train you see on that track until election and that's the end until the next admin. Sick people!
