$500 million was secured by the GEJ government for this same project. Tell me again how Obasanjo fully funded it.

Now your own turn, kindly post pictures of project initiated and commissioned by Buhari from 1983 to date.

Dumbie ( dumb zombie) let your el tufia present facts on how Obasanjo funded that project.

oduastates:

From 2008
Assitant Editor The Presidency is in a fix over the $8.3 billion contract for the modernisation and expansion of rail lines awarded in the dying days of the Obasanjo administration.

A committee set up to review the project submitted a report that did not favour its continuation. So also is the report of the World Bank on the gargantuan project.

The Federal Government had paid $250 million mobilisation fee to China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCEC), the main contractor of the project which involves the construction of a standard gauge rail covering 1,315 kilometres from Lagos to Kano with a loop from Minna to Abuja. The $2.5billion loan promised by the Chinese government is yet to be consummated.

Shortly after assuming office last year, President Umaru Yar’ Adua stopped the project and set up a committee headed by Finance Minister Shamsudeen Usman to review the funding options already planned for the project.

A source in the Presidency told The Nation that the committee’s report recommended the suspension of the project.


The committee, which also has Minister of Transportation Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke and her counterpart in National Planning, Senator Sanusi Daggash, as members, cited “procedural errors” in the award of the contract, such as lack of competitive bidding and inflation.

The Usman-led committee advised the government to ask the contractor to stop work for a proper feasibility study to be conducted, renegotiation of the contract sum and loan terms as well as involving the private sector in its funding and execution.

But the President whose seven-point agenda accommodate the revival of the ailing rail system is in dilemma over the committee’s report, which he does not want to set aside, it was learnt.

Almost all the roads Jonathan awarded were not funded.

So what is your fact here? So awarding a project means Obasanjo provided funding for it? The criminal Obasanjo had to wait to the end of his tenure to award a trillion Naira project that he didn't provide funding for

Now I've posted facts on how GEJ sourced for funding to execute that project. Kindly post how Obasanjo FULLY funded that rail project. I'm waiting.

Obasanjo commits to regauging plan
01 Sep 2006
'NO NATION has achieved holistic development without a coherent, integrated, efficient and reliable transportation system', explained Nigerian President Olusegum Obasanjo on August 9, setting out his vision for the revitalisation of his country's 3500 km rail network in a special radio broadcast.

The Bureau of Public Enterprises has already commissioned CPCS Transcom to draw up three operating concessions (RG 7.06 p373), but Obasanjo said that 'even this requires minimal rehabilitation to get value for money from concessionaires.'

Responding to a State Council report released on July 19 that recommended complete reconstruction and conversion from 1067mm gauge to standard at a cost of US$8·3bn, the President agreed that work should start immediately. 'By the grace of God, contract formalities will be signed this month and construction work will commence immediately thereafter', he announced.

Work is to begin with the 1126 km Lagos - Kano corridor, to be undertaken in five stages over four years for US$1bn, funded by a US$2·5bn soft loan from China. A new line is to be built for 100 km from Minna to Abuja, continuing for 205 km beyond the capital to Kaduna. Phase II would see reconstruction of the Port Harcourt - Jos route.[b]

Design-Build-Maintain contracts are to be let for reconstruction to permit 150 km/h passenger and 80 km/h freight trains, with a maximum gradient of 1·5% and a minimum curve radius of 1200m. Diesel traction, electronic interlockings and a 23 tonne axleload are envisaged.

'The construction of the rail line will employ tens of thousands of Nigerians immediately', Obasanjo explained. 'The entire project will promote technology transfer, the building of new skills and the development of allied industries. As far as possible, local materials will be used.'

No-one disputes that a new impetus is badly needed. NRC traffic has collapsed from 11·3 million passengers and 2·9 million tonnes of freight in 1964 to 1·6 million passengers and less than 100000 tonnes last year. There was a brief upturn in 1979-82 when Rites was brought in to run the railway by the former military regime. But a recent review found just five locomotives in working order. The only lines currently operating are those from Lagos to Kano and Port Harcourt to Madiguri.

It remains to be seen whether the government can muster the commitment and resources to complete the work this time, or whether it will fade away like so many previous revival attempts over the past four decades.

Stop moving goal post .
You wanted funding , I showed you the funding which was more than 30% of the funding needed to build rail for almost the entire country ( not Kaduna - Abuja line alone ).
That sum is more than enough to build Abj-Kaduna line and more.

naijapips04:


Lol. Which funding?

oduastates:


This is how Jonathan ran the country .

Fashola explained that, “The Federal Government budgeted N18.132 billion in 2015 and the Ministry of Works got N13 billion for all roads and highways in 2015, although it has contracts for 206 roads, covering over 6,000km worth over N2 trillion.”

He added that for the current administration to deliver on its promises to Nigerians, the government has to increase its capital budget to enable it significantly meet infrastructural needs of the nation.

naijapips04:


You are murdering yourself on your own thread. So you now know that awarding contracts is different from actually funding them.

oduastates:

It shows el rufai was right .

naijapips04:


How? That Obasanjo awarded the contract or that he fully funded it?
