Forget long story. I watched the ground breaking ceremony by Osinbajo live on TV sometime in March 2017.
This govt started this project and paid the 15% counterpart funding. They have also paid for the trains.

But if your source is Peter Obi or Kola Ologbodinyan or Vanguard newspaper, then PDP started it and even paid for the project 100%. After all the same Vanguard carried fake headlines of $1 = 1N wey Baba no promise.
Also GEJ commissioned the 2nd Niger Bridge, however on paper. Ask them to show you the bridge and they'll show you pictures of Loko - Oweto Bridge.

Anyways, I and my 39 family members are going to the #NextLevel of Infrastructural development in Nigeria.

If a contract wasn't awarded and signed and the contractors didn't move to the site, how then will there be groundbreaking?

Some Nigerians are too gullible because they reason with their anus

The contract for the 2,733km new Lagos-Kano rail was first awarded by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006 at a cost of $8.3bn to the Chinese company (CCECC) but could not be executed due to paucity of funds.

It was re-awarded to the same contractor by the Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2012 for execution in six phases, starting with the Lagos-Ibadan stretch.

The federal government and the CCECC in 2017 signed the contract for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan and Calabar-Port Harcourt rail lines after the two parties agreed to cut down the total cost for the projects from $11.917bn to $11.117bn.

A Vote for APC ISN'T a Vote for Buhari

By Prof. Farooq Kperogi

A vote for APC in the coming presidential election won't be a vote for Buhari; it would be a vote for an evil, greedy, corrupt, provincial, and reactionary cabal made up of Mamman Daura, Abba Kyari, Isa Funtua and their minions who are currently perpetrating a stratospheric theft of the nation's resources in ways that would make an angel of Abacha. President Buhari is an insentient human vegetable who is barely aware of his own existence.

As much I disdain Vice President Osinbajo's predilection for barefaced lying and annoying rhetorical legerdemain, if he would truly stand in for Buhari while he tends to his irreversibly declining health, I would be comfortable. But Osinbajo is worse than a figurehead VP. The cabal habitually humiliates him to his face and denudes him of any real powers. Every time Buhari handed over power to him when he traveled to London, the Villa always became a tumultuous, feuding house.

When former DSS boss Daura instructed his men to invade the National Assembly, Osinbajo was not in on the decision, even though he was the "acting" president. When he inquired why he was not consulted, he was insulted and humiliated by members of the cabal. He fired Daura in exasperation. But the man is practically back. He nominated the current DG and is actually the man who still runs the DSS. Every decision VP Osinbajo took when Buhari was away has been reversed or vitiated upon Buhari's return. Check the records.

This would be worse in a Buhari second term when the cabal no longer needs to pretend in order to earn the goodwill of the Southwest. The dissension between the cabal and the southwest political establishment led by Tinubu and Osinbajo would reach a feverish pitch. A degenerative, vegetative Buhari would be oblivious, and the nation would burn to the ground. You need no oracular powers to know that this would happen. At that point, Tinubu's minions in the media and civil society organizations would start barking and tarring all northerners with the same brush. I am waiting for them. Save this post somewhere in case Buhari is rigged back to power.

Why no link on when the project actually started in 2017. The flagged off by Osibanjo in 2017.
You said Started in your title and talking of MOUs without even mentioning when the project actually started. Is MOU actual implementation of Project?If so, Why dont you mention Obasanjo that did MOU in 2006 and did ground breaking on the project?

izzou:


If you can show me where Buhari re-initiated the project again, or re-signed a new contract with CCECC, I'll have no choice than to apologize and accept my mistake

As long as he continued with what was signed in 2012, it was Jonathan that started it

The same way we attribute BRT as Tinubu's plan even though it never existed since 2003

Jaideyone:
yes Jonathan started it on paper and left physical progress at 0%

clap for yourself illiterate

Okay

Buhari didn't sign anything, started the project and finished it

I hope this massages your ego

somehow:
Tinubu and Fashola are in the same party, not same with Jonathan and Buhari. Buhari could have also cancelled the MOU just as Yaradua (same party with OBJ) did with the MOU signed by OBJ.



But here you have it

Stop trying to use a false analogy... The contract GEJ signed was to cover two sections which were
1=The Lagos Ibadan Rail
2)The Kaduna - Abuja Rail...

And he elected to start with the Section 2 aspect first which was constructed to about 80% before PMB took over and did the finishing.

So saying he deliberately refused to construct it is a lie. We don't have infinite resources to simultaneously handle mega projects easily.

seunmsg:


All these grammar are unnecessary. The facts are clear, Jonathan signed an agreement that was never implemented as far as the Lagos - Ibadan Rail line is concerned. Buhari came in, cancelled the agreement and renegotiated another one. Counterpart funding for the renegotiated contract was fully paid and the project is now a reality. Nigerians are happy and Buhari takes all the credit. Period.

The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who signed on behalf of the Federal Government, had said the cost reduction for the projects was achieved after the contract was renegotiated by both parties.

“The contract was awarded by the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan for $11.917bn. When we took over at the ministry, we renegotiated with the CCECC and we succeeded in reducing the contract sum from $11.917bn to $11.117bn and we are able to save $800m after the renegotiation,” he had explained.

Amaechi also said the projects should be completed in two years, adding that the railways would be connected to the seaports.

@AutoReportNG here is my little advice to you:
Please don't destroy your young brand with the shamelessness of the PDP. Even if you are a PDP sympathizer, kindly find a new handle for that.

In 10 days Atiku will be defeated and his IPOB supporters can go back to screaming Zoooooo all the way to Jupiter.

President Obasanjo actually initiated the project. He signed a mou with the Chinese but Yar’adua cancelled the deal. Jonathan subsequently signed another agreement with the Chinese but refused to pay the necessary counterpart funds to enable the commencement of the project. The Buhari administration paid the counterpart funds fully and started the project.

porka:


This is false.

Stop 'educating' people on what you don't know.

Obasanjo's rail projects were all standard gauge. No single narrow gauge among them. The recently commissioned Kaduna-Abuja was one of the projects and it is a standard gauge.

The British already built the existing narrow gauge, why would Obasanjo be building another narrow gauge again 100 years after?

Yaradua's excuse was the funding. They were to partly debt finance (loan from China Exim Bank) and partly paid with crude oil. His motive remain unknown.

He said the arrangement did not follow the 'rule of law'. Many people applauded him then because of their rabid hatred for Obasanjo. The popular opinion then was that he was ''dealing" with Obasanjo, to the admiration of a lot people.

So if the PH rail is constructed in 2027 , by let's say another party, will it be wrong to say Amaechi started it?

Before u ignorantly praise Jonathan for this project, let me lecture u briefly

Rail system in Nigeria was originally initiated and designed by OBJ but due to lack of funds he changed it from standard guage to narrow guage.

But when Yar'Adua took over he ordered the review of the project and insisted that it must be a standard guage. That review was concluded in late 2009 when he was sick.

When Jonathan took over in 2010, everything concerning the design was ready and all that was expected of him was to approve it and award it for work to commen e 9

Thanks for your response.
My academic transcript from Kogi State university was sent 22nd January to Regina, Canada. The tracking number is RR051734867NG. The school hasn't received it. My admission is about to be cancelled as the deadline is almost up. Please help me in any way you can.
All the trackers I used only show that the item was dropped at the post office. No news of where it is or if it has been left Nigeria.
Thank you.
