30 Things To Know About Recent Railway Constructions In Nigeria (1999-2019) by AutoJoshNIG: 1:12pm On Feb 14, 2019


Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007)

1. In 2006, President Olusegun Obasanjo conceived  a modern railway project for Nigeria. According to him, “no nation has achieved holistic development without a coherent, integrated, efficient and reliable transportation system”.


2. On October, 2006, Obasanjo inaugurated the project to revitalize Nigeria’s 3500km railway network. This railway project was dubbed the Lagos-Kano standard gauge modernization project.


3. The contract for the railway project was awarded to China Civil Engineering and Construction Co (CCECC), for $8.3bn. It was to be funded with a soft loan from China.


4. The construction of the Lagos-Kano standard gauge modernization is projected to last for 25 years.


5. Due to funding problems, the project was later redesigned to be executed in standalone segments.


6. The Abuja-Kaduna segment was designed to be the first segment of the 1,124km Lagos-Kano line. It was to be implemented as part of the standard gauge project.


7. Obasanjo added a new 100km line which would be built from Minna to Abuja, continuing for 205km beyond the capital to Kaduna. He also said phase II would see the reconstruction of the Port Harcourt-Jos route.




Musa Yar’adua (2003-2010)

8. In November 2007, the Yar’Adua administration stopped the railway project due to “paucity of fund”. According to the minister of transportation, Diezani Alison-Madueke, the project was “posing challenges to the current administration”. The intention to source funding from the country’s excess crude account had “constitutional limitations”, she said, and an anticipated $1.28bn loan from China “crashed for a number of reasons”.


9. To ensure that things are properly done, Yar’Adua invited the respected geographer and urban planning expert, Professor Akin Mabogunje, to a meeting to discuss how the entire rail system could be modernized.


10. In October 2009, The Yar’adua government signed the $875m Abuja-Kaduna rail construction contract. The project was designated as the Phase 1 (Segment 1) of the re-scoped railway modernization project. The railway line would cover the Abuja (Idu)-Kaduna axis in the new agreement with the Chinese company. The project was reviewed downward from the initial $8.3 billion signed by the President Olusegun Obasanjo administration.


11. In 2009, the abandoned 276 kilometers long Warri-Ajaokuta rail line project was resuscitated. The project was originally conceived in 1987 to carry steel products and raw materials from Delta Steel Company, Aladja, Warri  but was later abandoned after about 254 kilometers had been done due to funding constraints.





Goodluck Jonathan (May 2010 – May 2014)

12.  Shortly after winning the 2011 presidential election, President Goodluck Jonathan initiated the high-speed Lagos-Kano rail project.


13.  The Lagos-Kano rail project is the first phase of the  Lagos-Kano rail line  which will connect Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Warri, Bauchi, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. The project - which was designed to be executed in 6 phases - was projected to cost the country $13 billion, much of which will be financed with a loan from the Export Import Bank of China. The entire project was expected to last for about 25 years.


14. Between February and October 2010, a total of 25 new locomotives were purchased by the Federal Government from the General Electric Transportation South America and deployed to boost train services across the country’s railway routes.


15.  The Abuja-Kaduna segment is the first segment to be implemented as part of the Lagos-Kano standard gauge project under the first standard gauge railway modernisation projects (SGRMP) in Nigeria.


16. August 28, 2012,  the Jonathan-led government signed a Memorandum of Understanding  for the construction of the of $ 1.5billion Lagos – Ibadan rail project with CCECC Nigeria Limited. The Lagos-Ibadan line project is a double track railway line modernisation project. The standard gauge line is to          run between Lagos, Ibadan, Ilorin, Minna, Kano and also there would be a phase that will take off from Minna to Abuja.


17. The Lagos-Ibadan Line is the Segment Two of the standard-gauge line that will connect Lagos and Kano.


18. In 2012,  work on the  Warri-Itakpe-Ajaokuta rail line  commenced. When completed,  it would enable train move from Warri  through Itakpe, Ajaokuta, Agbor, Warri and Ore with six stations in between.


19. June 2014, President Goodluck Jonathan, commissioned two sets of Diesel Multiple Units, DMUs, and 68-seater air-conditioned passenger coaches acquired by the Nigeria Railway Corporation to boost its passenger traffic.


20. According to Railway Technology, the construction of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line which started in February 2011 was completed in December 2014.


21. In 2014, the  Abuja-Kaduna rail line project was rated by KPMG, one of the leading consulting firms in the world, to be among the global top 100 world-class infrastructure projects.


22. In October 2014, the federal executive council (FEC) approved $6.6 million for the procurement of two locomotives for the Abuja- Kaduna rail.





Mohammadu Buhari (2015 -Date)

23. . On July 26, 2016, President Mohammadu Buhari commissioned the 187 km standard gauge line between Kaduna and Abuja . The Kaduna-Abuja standard gauge railway tracks runs from Idu, near Abuja, to Kaduna in the north-western region of Nigeria.



24. The Abuja-Kaduna standard guage line has 10 stations and features both passenger and cargo trains.



25. The trains run at a maximum speed of 100 km/h. At its southern end, the line terminates at Idu, about 20km from central Abuja, where there will be an interchange with the Abuja light rail ( a 78km intra-city rail line).



26. The Abuja light rail is a different project from the Abuja-Kaduna rail line, but still part of the grand plan birthed by the Obasanjo-led administration.


27. In April 2017, the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) announced it had begun the construction of the 36-kilometer Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway line.


28. The project which was earlier contracted for nearly $1.5 billion, was rewritten and renegotiated by the Buhari-led government and the Chinese construction firm handling the project, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC).


29.The project is jointly funded by the Nigerian and Chinese governments will gulp about $1.5bn (N458bn).


30. The 160km Lagos-Ibadan Line will run from Iddo in Lagos to Ibadan in Oyo State, passing through Abeokuta in Ogun State. It will also have an extension to the Apapa Ports Complex.

My people, my people....

A project that was supposed to get started in 2006/2007 was stopped due to "paucity of fund". Note: $8.3b was already signed but was rejected by incoming administration and converted into phases which is expected to gulp $13b. grin and we think our leaders have sense abi?

They wasted time n money because of incompetence and not because of financial constraints. We should have gone past lagos-kano line and working on P.H-maiduguri by now.

20. According to Railway Technology, the construction of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line which started in February 2011 was completed in December 2014.

You claimed Obasanjo conceived the plan . I say no, He like every other president inhered the plan just like PMB

What did others do with it, use it for political propaganda and means of looting e.g. Obj and Gej who gave us refurbished locomotive on archaic track.

PMB is different, he actualise the plan within 3 years after over 30years.

Somebody said he would privatise NNPC and make it transparent and efficient and some misconstrued it for outright sale. They even said atiku would sell Nigeria. Can this be achieved singularly....even if that is his intention? Those APC members kicking against atiku know what their fears are. Only atiku knows their secrets. They also are afraid of the mess they have caused, which they think when exposed to Nigerians after they have left, could cause many to faint. Instead of the social media rants, insults and abuses, I'd urge our youths to rather think deeply because they are always at the receiving end, whatever decisions they take now. If someone is truly fighting corruption as a leader, it's supposed to be holistic. Someone was indicted of dollar bribe and you still went ahead and endorsed him. All the appointments and handling of security in nigeria today by the federal government is the worst in the history of Nigeria. They keep telling us that boko haram has been defeated yet, they are spreading like wildfire everyday, with their tentacles now being entrenched towards the north west and middle belt. So that we would not react or be sensitive to this, APC in their usual deceit, nick-named the fulani herdsmen, and later armed bandits now they call them cattle rustlers...whereas, they kill and attack in same manner boko haram do but they think everybody in Nigeria is a fool? We all can't be deceived.What has this buhari government achieved so far?
What is their manifesto and programmes?
How will it benefit the common man?
Are we better off economically now than we were 4 years ago?
What are our concerns about the bloomberg's economic predictions about Nigeria...that we should not expect economic improvement and stock rise until another government takes over and does it mean anything to us?
What of the world capital of poverty bagged by Nigeria under this government?
What of the ever-depleting foreign reserve and sharp-dropping oil output due to low megawatts of electricity, which fashola once bragged had increased to the highest peak in this government history?
What of the subsidy of over 240 billion naira paid to petroleum marketers in December, which they once called a scam during jonathan administration by this government?
What of the subsidy they removed which shot the pump price to 145 naira a litre, promising to use the proceeds to fix all our refineries, create jobs, construct roads and stop importation of petroleum products?
Are they not making a you-turn overnight, telling us they still pay subsidy?
Who are truly the APC members...Elrufai, and was appointed BPE Chair who was in charge of privatisation of our national assets when obj was in power...?
Why is the APC not mentioning his name and why is Elrufai afraid of atiku's candidature?
What of Akpabio who was charged for money laundering offences who is now a celebrated saint n the APC?14 people allegedly die at buhari's rally and as at today not a word from him, his vp or the people of his campaign.
Hear me people, Saturday is about the economy, jobs, Leah Sharibu (The only girl left behind because of her faith), freedom of speech, freedom of religion and a Nigeria we all can be believe in. Do not be deceived by a false garb of integrity. Do not be fooled by group thinking of "Na our brother be second in command". Don't allow people manipulate you with "he is our own or member of our religion". Make no mistake about it; what you do at the polling booth on Saturday will resonate for generations. Choose wisely!!!
Tyranny doesn't discriminate. Neither does nepotism nor dictatorship.
When we allow it to thrive, there would be enough injustice to serve everyone including those that supported it.

This autojosh wouldn't stop being economical with truth, even after several warnings.

Where is the part which states that Buhari was the only one to pay the counterpart funds to cofund with the Chinese investors? Whereas others including Jonathan left it alone for the Chinese investors. Jonathan thought he don see Chinese maga to fool and that was why the project was left stalling for years.




If only people knew what oil countries such as Angolans and Venezuela folks are passing through during this global crude oil price recess, they would thank God Buhari came in rather than Jonathan who looted us dry during oil boom when it was selling at $110 per barrel for five years unlike the paltry $50 it has been selling under APC. If the looting Jonathan couldn't save during the time of plenty and was already borrowing, how would he have carried on during this crude oil price recess?

Despite Buhari administration earning 60% less yet he's come up with plenty projects such as

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta, kaduna-abuja etc,

The production of low cost fertilizers,

Zik maoseleum

Baro inland port,

Kaduna inland dry port,

Port Harcourt airline terminal,

Abuja airline terminal,

Rice mills,

Foreign reserve increase from $26b to $43b,

Construction of our express highways such as enuguonitsha, Lagos-ibadan etc.

Social policy schemes such as tradermoni, npower etc

Payment of all pensions of airline staffs that were forced to retire after the shambolic privatisation by Atiku. PDP didn't pay them in the last 16 years.

And most especially, stabilizing us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari coupled with the fall in the price of crude oil from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to keep us afloat while having many projects to his name thereby surprising Ngozi Iweala and Charles Soludo who predicted recession because jonathan looted and failed to save during the time of plentiful.

Sai Baba. PDP, Neva again

Has anyone noticed the only two sentences APC zombies always drop here and there like fowl poo is, "your votes are irrelevant" and "your eyes go clear after the election". grin grin grin

These people have not wasted any opportunity to tell us how irrelevant our votes are yet their body language tell us the opposite, cos the way they jump on threads that support Atiku shows they are afraid of us and not the other way round. And so after my keen observation I make my submission as thus.

Since it is the last days for APC and just like the devil they will kick they will bite they will manufacture documents, doctor tapes ,videos and so on just to get our sympathy, but do not be dismayed, the killings in Benue will and must cease after February 16, we shall remove the same man who his own wife told us is no longer in charge of his Government, a man who's wife revealed to us that only two men hijacked his Government, and urged the youths to rise up in a revolution, that man is who we are sending back to Daura to rest in peace.

A vote for Atiku is a show of strength in our power to defeat evil, to kick out incompetence anytime we want, and to prove to them that the actual power belongs to us.

God bless Waziri Atiku Abubakar on his victory
God bless our 'China' man Okwute Peter Obi.
God bless the PDP
God bless Nigeria...
