The Federal Government is currently constructing a railway line connecting Lagos to Ibadan.

The railway line is going to be the first Double Standard railway line in Nigeria.

The 156 kilometers railway track is being built according to Chinese standard and technology.

The project which will cost $1.6billion dollars has employed the services of about 7000 Nigerians in the construction.

This design of this railway line is based on traffic volume forecast of over 3.2 million tons of goods/cargoes per annum, while the passenger services can take 16 pairs of passenger trains.

The project includes the construction of eight  ( railway stations and Apapa and Ebute-Metta and Intermediate stations at Agege, Kajola, Papalanto, Abeokuta, Omi-Adio.

The station at Olodo is a passing station while the station at Ibadan is an intermediate station with technical operation.


The services for the locomotive workshop, rolling stock depot and marshaling yards will be located at Kajola, Ogun state.


The extension of the Lagos-Ibadan rail line to the Lagos seaport will significantly enhance the export and import trade of the country. This project is multi-functional for both passenger and freight services connecting three states-Lagos, Ogun and Oyo.

The railway line in the nearest future will be extended from Ibadan to Ilorin, Minna, Kaduna, and Kano and will link the Federal Capital Territory via Kaduna.

Meanwhile, construction of the railway track has recently commenced at the Yaba.

Nice one. This will go a long way to reduce traffic at the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Hopefully the railway line would be completed before the end of 2020.


Meanwhile, ladies, instead of the regular sanitary pad, why not use the medicated panty-liner. See my signature for more details.

Na lie is gradually becoming Na truth.
We are getting there

This is a continuous welcome development, for those of you that hate Buhari, this is one of the reasons, why we voted and rooted for him, las las na all of us go still enjoy am, change that is visible, not change that is visible in some people's Bank account and families. We want change for all, slows as it may be, we will get there and correct all the wrongs by the termites who have eaten deep into Nigerias destiny. God bless Muhammadu Buhari.

welcomeback:
the work at yaba is a bit slow compared to Ogun state.. i was at Odeda LGA in Ogun state few weeks ago and i can say that the fast pace of work there is massive.. i believe we can do better and see its completion as soon as possible...

Yaba is crowded. Why would the pace of progress be the same in those two places?

Lagos is dirty afffff argh

Lagos and your anus which one dirty pass?

The public needs to be protected by putting heras fencing along the edge of the excavation. Children or even adults can easily fall from the edge.
With a 25tonne excavator, there should definitely be a barrier separating pedestrians from the machinery.

Hope the government continue on this momentum. Ameachi is truly working compared to some failed ministers !!! Click Like if you believe in this project and Share if you do not believe in the project!!

Up governor Sanwo-Olu next president 2023

Now that elections are over, I wonder what wailers will say about this project.

Lol...

Sometimes I feel like some of them are cursed to hate all their lives

kay29000:


They are saying it is because Amaechi wants to remain in Buhari's cabinet. You know them na...they will always find something to say.
