If you actually think that the actualization of this project is to be attributed to PMB who is barely one year into office, then you can as well believe that your father is gay and your mother a lesbian. Hate has really driven you nut! Your head need to be checked!

Don't mind the shameless people.

Buhari, their god, has started CANCELING everything as his practice.

The worshipers will be claiming someone's achievements while projects that would benefit them and their children are being canceled here and there.

A maritime university project has just been canceled but they lack the capacity to think of the ramifications.

Buhari did not actualize anything. He would have canceled it under a phantom 'corruption' tale if the project has not reached advanced stage.

We know who initiated it "just as Rome was not built in a day",so let's honour who revived railway in Nigeria GEJ.
No amount of propaganda can erase or cover the good effort of a hero GEJ

If GEJ had still remain, maybe by now all the railways would have been effective and refinery which he started would have began its full function and maybe 1$ wouldnt have been 305 naira. Agriculture would have been our bed rock.


This is the reason behind the statement that reveals that "Time waits for nobody".
He had that time....he should have used it well...

Give us high speed rail from Lagos to Ibadan,Lagos to Abeokuta and see how Lagos will be decongested.
A 200km/hr HST would really decongest Lagos, and more folks would be willing to live in Ibadan or other major SW towns.

Comsol:


Nigeria’s first ever high speed train service will open for service in March 2016. It is the double-track, standard gauge between Abuja and Kaduna that runs at 120Km and 150 Km an hour. Come March, travelers will be able to journey from Abuja to Kaduna (and vice-versa) in less than an hour.

The project which was just completed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) cost $849 million. The Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Adeseyi Sijuwade while addressing the media in Lagos said

“Next month, we’ll be taking delivery of modern coaches to run on the standard gauge line, specifically for the Abuja-Kaduna line, so that that service can commence immediately,”

According to him, the corporation was looking at a February-March timeline to commence delivery of services.

The rail project was supposedly completed in December 2014, but was never delivered. And even if the delivery is 15 months later than expected, it is good news that it finally works considering the fact that it has spanned nearly four administrations.

Spanning from the Obasanjo administration to present, an active and efficient rail system has been marred for a long time by inefficiencies and corruption on a massive scale. As since the contract was awarded in the Obasanjo era, there has not been any positive move to see its fruition.

Trains were originally designed to transport heavy duty goods like the goods ferried from the seaports on giant trailers that block and damage the road causing traffic gridlock. Some rail tracks have been rendered dysfunctional and unusable from the many years of being left idle.

A working rail system is key to our messed up transportation system as roads would be eased off and traffic gridlocks become a thing of the past. The Lagos to Ibadan route was also commissioned in 2010 with this Abuja-Kaduna route, as well as the Lagos to Calabar route.

The government should also consider other routes that are frequently traveled and are heavily congested, like roads out of Lagos to other commercial hubs.
