This morning in Kaduna: President Buhari commissions new locomotives and coaches for the Abuja-Kaduna Rail Service.

In the president tweet he said

Today in Kaduna I'm pleased to commission 2 additional locomotives & 10 additional Passenger coaches for the Abuja-Kaduna Rail service; and to commission the new Inland Container Depot. Nigeria's infrastructure is being steadily upgraded, & our economy is set for jobs and growth.

I am glad they bought new locomotives! It was needed as that route was running just two trains daily which was terribly inadequate.


Now this is my take...

Jonathan spent 4 years and completed this train line. He also completed the Abuja light rail to 68% completion as Buhari acknowledged in his new year day speech. He also went pretty far with the new airport terminals at the Abuja, Lagos and Enugu airports.


My question to you Buhari, which project will you hand over to the new government coming in in 2019 as it certain you are not coming back.
All the things you listed on new years day that you want to start doing, is it in 2018 election year that you will give out the contract or were you hoping that despite your terrible perfomamnce you would be voted back in 2019?

You budgeted a total of N4 trillion in 2016(N1.8T) and 2017(N2.2T) for capital projects. That is a whooping $13 billion. That money would have built us 2600km of rail lines at the price which Jonathan used in building the Abuja -Kaduna rail. It cost $875 million to build the rail line of 195km. That is an average of $4.48 million per km.

Or for better comparison, the Lekki Ikoyi link bridge was N29 billion. 4 Trillion Naira would have built 137 of such massive bridges.


But you know what, there isnt anywhere in the country where 100km of road have been completed since you came in. Where has all that money(N4 Trillion) gone to.

When will the president commision a project in the south and east abi they are not part of Nigeria?

Even prisoners it's in the north that they are being freed. He went to Ebonyi and Anambra and did not deem it fit to free any prisoner but want to kano after then and freed 500.

I know this would come across as petty and bigoted, but there is a deliberate ploy to focus development in the North, simple. Already, the Kano-Kaduna rail project is on to extend the Abuja-Kaduna route, while no single grain of sand has yet been lifted for the Lagos-Calabar rail that would cut across 8 states in three geopolitical zones. There are massive road constructions going on up north, while the south suffers-Zaria-Katsina, Kaduna-Kano, Kano-Maiduguri etc. Anywhere you find Buhari and El-Rufai together, know that ethno-religious machinations are been hatched.
