Abuja-kaduna Rail: We’re Excited Buhari Has Commissioned Our Project- PDP by alade112(m): 4:47pm On Jul 26, 2016
Following the official flag-off ceremony for commercial operations of the 185km Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail project, on Tuesday, in Abuja, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari, saying "We are excited that President Muhammadu Buhari has commissioned our project."

The PDP which took to its verified Twitter handle @PdpNigeria to hail President Buhari said: "We congratulate @NGRPresident of the commissioning of the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail line and flagging off of commercial operations on it.

"We congratulate the people of Nigeria who can enjoy the benefits of this revolutionary service.
"We must commend former President Goodluck Jonathan for the conceptualisation of the project as a standard gauge rail line. We sincerely hope the project fulfils the dreams he had of greater integration between the cities of Abuja & Kaduna.
"We also commend former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the work put into the structure of the project. It is important to note that the structure of this project ensured that it didn’t suffer the fate of many projects before it which are abandoned by successive administrations.
"The 185 km Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail line is one of the first standard gauge rail lines in Nigeria and was constructed by China Civil Engineering & Construction Company (CCECC).

"The project features cargo and passenger trains. 4000 people were employed during construction & at inception, the project was projected to employ 5000 people for its operations.
"Passenger trains on the line can operate for speeds of up to 200kms per hour while cargo trains can travel at speeds up to 150kms per hour.

"Travel time between the two cities will be 1hr & 1hr30mins for passenger and cargo trains respectively.
"The rail line has nine stations and costs $874million. Of this figure, $500million was provided by the China Exim Bank as a concessionary loan while the Jonathan administration paid $374million as counterpart funding.

"The rail line included the construction of 30 railway bridges, including five box bridges. Construction on the rail line commenced in February 2011 and ended in December 2014. The nine stations were in advanced stages of completion when the Jonathan admininistration handed over.
"This project is the first in a series of developmental projects conceptualised and initiated by the Jonathan administration."
"Others that will soon be completed include the new terminals at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. God bless Nigeria," the party said in a series of tweets on Tuesday.

I was bashed earlier for commending GEJ They said the Kaduna

Railway project was awarded by President Olusegun Obasanjo,

consolidated by Yar adua,they skipped Gej who completed almost 80% of the project then jumped to buhari who is just fortunate to commission the
project

To them buhari start and finish the project within 16months
I'm not a fan of Gej nor buhari but acknowledgment should be to the person who deserves it .

The Money used on the project is not their money anyway What we need is an improvement that will add values and benefit to the Society

unitysheart:
El Rufai started the project as Minister of FCT but wasn't given much attention by Yaradua and GEJ administration until latter part of this administration. No one should come here and say na GEJ project. The project started with Obasanjo and reached this stage with Buhari.

Also, note that Abuja to Kaduna is the smallest fraction of the project. The entire project is from Lagos to Kano.



DropShot:

The project started in 2006. Funded largely by Yaradua and completed by PMB. Had GEJ provided the counterpart funding, he could have been the one to complete and commission it simce 2014.

Move on!



Funded largely by yaradua but GEJ didn't commission it See Wayo abeg cheesy cheesy D other one said it wasn't given much attention by Yaradua I'm confused

Thanks to GEJ for the initiative, and thanks to PMB for not abandoning his predecessor's initiative.
