Minister for transportation Amaechi has directed CCECC to complete Iju-Agbado section of Lagos-Ibadan rail in 2 weeks. The minister gave the directive on Thursday while taking a train ride on the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan rail project from Lagos-Abeokuta and Ibadan sections.

He wanted the Chinese firm to speed up ongoing work between Iju in Lagos and Agbado in Ogun, due to the high volume of passengers. The minister pledge to come for a test-run on Jan.14, to ensure that the sections were completed.

“The problem the contractor has now is the civil work between Agbado and Iju which is critical to me because I don’t think passengers should go and board train from Agbado. “I believe that it is important that the closer we are to Lagos, the better for the rail. “That is what we are battling now because I want them to use the same speed noticed in some sections in the construction of Agbado area to Iju.

“They want us to flag off from Agbado but I don’t want because I feel Iju will be more appropriate to flag off and they said they will be ready with that axis in two weeks. “ I think we should get to Iju because it will not be wise to drive from Lagos to Agbado to board train,” he said.

According to him, the slow pace of work witnessed on the project was due to inadequate equipment and manpower. “They argued that lack of equipment was responsible for the pace of work because the equipment were not on-the-shelf equipment that can just be picked and paid for. “What is causing the delay on the Agbado to Iju axis is equipment related. “The equipment have to be applied from overseas, we will have to wait for the processing and then ship them down and if we wait for those equipment, we might be finishing the job when the equipment will arrive.

“We are expecting 30 passenger coaches mixed with locomotive wagons, 300 wagons and two sets of Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) made up of ten coaches each and two motorcars will arrive Lagos before the construction work is completed,” he said.

On the ongoing Itakpe-Warri test-run, the minister said it would extend to May after which it would commence commercial activities.

Sadly for you, this project is getting completed in less than four years, this is the fastest rail construction in the history of Nigeria while your worthless stealing is not corruption GEJ and your corrupt PDP uncles spent 16 years in office and looted $800 billion and still couldn't any rail project.


Btw, can you show us any project started and completed by the PDP in their first 4 years from 1999-2003? Of course, you can not.
