GEJ Signed The Coastal Rail Project With China In 2014 by Validated: 2:21pm On Apr 10, 2016 |
The Calabar - Lagos Coastal Rail Contract was signed in 2014 by GEJ. What is APC fuming about its removal from the budget when the rail agreement was made since 2 year ago!!! NIGERIA: China Railway Construction Corp and the federal government officially signed the US$11·97bn contract to build the Nigerian Coastal Railway linking Lagos and Calabar at a ceremony in Abuja on November 19. According to CRCC, the deal is the single largest international contract awarded to a Chinese firm. CRCC’s parent company China Civil Engineering Construction Corp has been developing the project since 2010, and signed a framework agreement on May 5 during a state visit by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, who committed to provide more investment and technical expertise. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding was announced by President Goodluck Jonathan in Calabar on September 2. The 650 km route will link Calabar in the east to Aba, Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin City and Lagos in the west, passing through 10 states, requiring 1 385 km of 1 435 mm gauge track. The east-west corridor will augment NRC’s existing north-south lines running inland from Lagos and Port Harcourt to Kaduna as well as the Warri – Ajaokuta – Abuja line. According to CRCC, the line is to be built to ‘Chinese standards‘, with a maximum speed of 120 km/h. Chairman of the state-owned construction company Meng Fengchao told the state news agency Xinhua that the project would require Chinese exports totalling US$4bn, including construction machinery, steel products and rolling stock. Describing the scheme as ‘a mutually beneficial project’, Meng predicted that it would create up to 200 000 local jobs during the construction and around 30 000 permanent posts once the line is operational. http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/infrastructure/single-view/view/chinese-sign-us12bn-contract-to-build-nigerian-coastal-railway.html 1 Like 1 Share |

Mayor21: See who is talking. Signed in 2014 terminated later, rejuvenated in the pages the newspapers prior to the election. In fact he should be ashamed that his project could not take off while he was in power. Before I go, did he also sign the cleaning up of ogoni land? 7 Likes 1 Share |

Validated: Successive Nigerian governments have been 'signing' contracts since even before I was born but being a Nigerian, we know it isnt about signing contracts. Even OBJ signed all these contracts from the Lagos to Kano and Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rails to the 2nd Niger bridge, but the projects are still a mirage. Similarly, several contracts have been signed by successive governments for the over 3000mw Mambilla hydro dam since the 80's but up till today, nothing exists. May I also add the contract of $23bn with China for 3 refineries which Jonathan signed in 2010, but all na wash. So Op, please spare us the trash of signing contracts. We are Nigerians and we know better. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jonathan had a good vision but lacked to will-power to implement them. I advise Buhari to look into these visionz and implement them, though they may seem so bogous. But if that is all he can achieve with non-compromised fight against corruption, it's ok. Just like he has done With TsA. Let him finish Lagos-Ibadan Rd, shagamu-Ore, Abuja-Kaduna rail, 2nd Niger bridge, etc. Note: I didn't APC should finish what PDP started, I said Buhari and Jonathan. |
