payless: This government bringing all these white nobodies to give credence to rubbish they do is laughable. Anytime they want to deceive the masses about so call "project", they parade whites of nobodies to bring credence to it. Those Eastern-eruopean whites are not as qualified as Nigerian engineers.

otokx: There was nothing wrong with the Aladja - Itakpe - Ajaokuta railway line as it was meant to move steel products between landlocked Ajaokuta and Aladja that has a water way. If they want to use it for passenger traffic now then its a good development, they should try and extend the line from Ajaokuta to Abuja and from Aladja to Warri then we can now do Warri to Kaduna in say 3 hours if they speed is quite good and that will be real development.

taharqa: By d way, just in d way of context: It took 10 different Admins from 1975 to date to Complete a 253km Standard Rail Guage, it is taking just about 3yrs for the new 167km Abuja-Kaduna Standard Rail Guage for a SINGLE Admin to complete d project from scratch (it started in 2010/2011 already more than 70% complete); and, it is even GEJ who is presently completing this perpetuali Abandoned project. Abuja Standard Metro Line is been still done concurrently; just as d 3500km Narrow Rail Lines that were comatose for a long time are been Resuscitated, with trains already moving on the Lagos-Kano Line..... But 'GEJ is not working'..

taharqa: Oh! Boy, ehye. See new format. Na wa o. Na d new 'criticism' bi dis one, abi?? ... They are d Julius Berger men handling d project; thought I said dat in d OP....

ballabriggs: Loooollll If this is not desperation by a failed government, I wonder what it is. Abacha must be shaking in his grave. You know why? The major part of this project to Delta state was completed under Sani Abacha with the aim of connecting the Ajaokuta and Aladja steel complexes. OBJ discontinued the project as those complexes were to be privatised.

Today President Jona who has nothing to show in spite of the trillions which should have been received wants to take glory for a dead man's work. Hohohohihihihi Akabo lele O

fairheven: Nations are talking about speed train that will travel from lagos to the onitsha in less than 3hrs an we buzy shouting over mediocrity.we have a loooong way to go

taharqa: There was/is NOTHING like Aladja-Itakpe-Ajaokuta Rail line. It is d Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Aladja(Warri) Line; and it was only d mostly Itakpe-Ajaokuta part of d Line that was completed and working b4 now (it was used to convey Iron Ore from Itakpe to Ajaokuta Steel Milks). The Aladja(Warri) Mill was not connected- infact, this was one of d MAIN reasons Ajaokuta and Nigerian Steel Sector never workd cos there was no means of getting d HEAVY steel and sm raw materials both to and from d Aladja Plant and d Sea at Warri; only recently was d Agbor-Warri loop completed. Moreova, as you might hv heard from d Video (assuming you even watched it), d Itakpe-Ajaokuta(maybe up to Ore) Loop had to be Rehabilitated as well cos d line was not been used nor maintained for a long time since whateva remaind of Itakpe Ajaokuta collapsed, and so had gone bad..... As you correctly guessed, the entire Rail track has been recently made to be able to carry Passengers, as well as d Heavy Goods it was originally designed for. Also, d link to Abuja is within d Rail Masterplan, but Nothing has been done yet in that respect except for d recently concluded Feasibility Studies on that loop (just 1 of 10 such studies)

otokx:

Its not about guessing, we will celebrate loudest when the rail line from Ajaokuta reaches Abuja and hopefully by then the other line to Kano or is it Kaduna will be complete but then we doubt. The propaganda is quite a lot, and real work is not taking place, this line again say we had been virtually completed, it actually passes through my village, its just that since different people bought the companies at both ends of the railway line there was not much transaction between them. Delta Steel Company, Aladja gets raw materials by the ports and sells end product same way so the indian owners decided not to invest money on the rail infrastructure.
