"A rail line connecting Makurdi in Nigeria’s central region to Port Harcourt in the south has become operational, adding to the number of rail lines that the Nigerian government has resuscitated in the last few years

Commissioning the Makurdi- Port Harcourt rail line in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State on Monday, Vice President Namadi Sambo said the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration had vowed to continue with the transformation agenda in the area of rail transport system until all Nigerians have access to train services.

Mr Sambo said that the Federal Government would ensure the completion of another line, the Port Harcourt through Enugu-Makurdi to Kaduna line, before the end of President Jonathan’s administration.

The Vice President also declared that all rail network from the eastern rail line, through Makurdi to Kaduna and linking Kano to Lagos western line would all be connected."

The colored portions:

Rail line from PH to Markudi is complete, but PH through Enugu-Makurdi to Kaduna line is not

If you can only get to Markudi from PH by passing through Enugu, why not just say that Markudi to Kaduna is now left to complete, rather than muddling things up with the already completed PH-Enugu-Markudi line?

See how GEJ and his handlers do not know how to say their achievements (and there are many achievements) clearly?

You obviously lack knowledge of how rail line operates. For your information, rail line network is not like road network. I don't blame you though. If Buhari had not destroyed our rail system in 1983 - 1985, you've had known more about rail.

Part 1 (Revive Dead old rail lines) almost completed

Part 2 (Build new standard rail lines) kicked off with the completed Abj-Kaduna standard Gauge line...& signing of Lagos-Calabar Coastal rail project & Lagos-Ibd highspeed rail

All in a bid to achieve the well thought out 25yrs strategic railway plan that saw KPMG listing our rail projects as one of the top 100 infrastructure projects worldwide..

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is doing it!

VOTE GEJ for President

If you have any clue, can you answer my simple question w/out being abusive? Thank you.

They have completed the PH-Enugu-Markudi line
They have not completed the Markudi-Kaduna line

What is the reason for saying that they still have to complete the PH-Enugu-Markudi-Kaduna line? Instead of just saying the Markudi-Kaduna line?

Do you not see a confusion in CLEARLY transmitting the message to the voters?

Before you come ranting, please check my posts. I am more for GEJ than you are.

i understand what you mean.
but you know gej is a very honest man who does not post pictures of reinherd bonnke as the picture of kano crowd.
so pls understand this....
ph to makurdi is a seperate narrow guage that runs through the cities of both communities...but that of ph to kaduna is a seperate line that was also abandoned by buhari and co...but will come back to life by 2016.
indeed there are many achievements but we dont boast or lie about it because we are called to serve.

Thanks. So are you indicating that there are two separate lines from PH to Markudi: one direct line to Markudi (without passing Enugu) and another line that passes through Enugu, Markudi and then to Kaduna? Is that what you are saying?

If so, what cities are connected in the direct line from PH to Markudi? This is just for my knowledge. Thanks for your patience.

Ok, ''bypassing Enugu city'', but not bypassing Enugu state, correct? Sounds great as it means Enugu state has two different rail systems.

But a ''city metroline'' would be one just inside the one metropolitan area served. If you connect PH to Markudi via some Enugu towns and villages, then I would think that is no longer a metro line but an interstate or (intercity) line.

Anyways, great job, GEJ. He deserves a second term by all means.

let me still butress this further
nigeria metroline dosnt have a designated city line...what it does is for example ph to enugu
it passes substations in enugu city as it moves to its final stop in ph. but with the 25 years rail plan...it should have a modern narrow guage for thr city and a standard guage for interstate. i think you should be ok at this point.




Gej will continue....insha Allah

Good job to the NRC boss. It's not rocket science to get this done. But the Lagos state govt have borrowed the future of Lagos to build a railway line which is still uncompleted.

Fashola is a smooth criminal.
