The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, said the Federal Government has approved the construction for Warri seaport at the cost of about $3.9bn and also awarded the contract for the Abuja-Warri rail line.

Amaechi told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja that government also approved the linking of Abuja to Itakpe, Itakpe-Warri, then from Warri rail to the seaport.

“The President awarded the contract for Abuja to Warri, Abuja to Itakpe, then to Warri. From the Warri rail to the seaport. We are building a new seaport in Warri, the cabinet approved it last week, that is about $3.9bn,” he said.

He, however, said that about $45bn was needed to complete rail development in the country.

He said that once Lagos-Kano, Port Harcourt-Maiduguri, Lagos-Calabar and Abuja-Warri rail lines were constructed, the rail would have covered the country.

According to him, the government has not spent over $3bn so far on all the ongoing projects.

The Lagos-Ibadan will cost about $1.6bn, that doesn’t include the extra cost of things we didn’t prepare for or see in the evaluation; Abuja-Kaduna was constructed with about $1bn.

“We also paid $500m to buy locomotives and rolling stocks for Lagos-Ibadan; I can’t remember how much we spent buying rolling stocks for Kaduna-Abuja.”

Cool!

Another way for Buhari goons to syphoon funds

Sea port, and dry land port are now trending projects.

Hummmm .....

A Welcome Development.

Buhari is working

I know some people who'd be happy because of this news

This is what we will use, when we finally have independent country.

Here are part of the things we've needed before 1999 and we are just getting now.

If some would like, let them come here and curse the present govt. Na their headache.

If PDP could complete 16 years of misrule and Lagos - Ibadan expressway could not be fixed, then why should we even ever consider them. Even when their presidential candidate took part in 8 out of the 16 years.

And during these 16 years, we had a Yoruba man (obasanjo), a Hausa (yaradua) and a representative from the Eastern part (Jonathan) all from PDP. We couldn't get, good roads, security, power, rail etc.

F

This port will probably be more efficient than Ibom deep seaport. It will already have rail lines thst move noth south. Ibom deep seaport needs the same.

I wonder how people will complain about this development.

Nice one FG Next level

Where are the SouthSouth/SouthEast crew mainly from the south East

Lovely.

Another scam just like Ogoni clean up

Nice move

Na when person wake up bi him morning. Good morning to federal government.


Yeye country!

“We also paid $500m to buy locomotives and rolling stocks for Lagos-Ibadan; I can’t remember how much we spent buying rolling stocks for Kaduna-Abuja.”

A serving minister cannot remember how much was spent in buying rolling stocks... please who will remember??

I hope money won't disappear with nothing to show but excuses in the end. Nice development.

agabusta:
Cool!

Be wary of the word 'approved!'
In Nigeria it's synonimous with any state of stagnancy.
If u know u know.

I pray it does not end on paper

The ONLY good news from this Administration. Since Jonathan couldn't do it...mtttcheeew

Big elephant project in the making

Some people are sad everyday because Buhari won. I want to assure them that their sadness has just started. If they don’t want progress in Nigeria they can never find happiness. Una go hate tire.

Thank you Sir..


Omo Agege bringing home the bacon
