That will pass through Onitsha to Asaba, from Agbor to Warri, from Warri to Utako to Ajaokuata to Abuja.
Wrong connection, after Utako then to Ajaokuata before final stop Abuja, please which state or region is Utako?
With combination of connection the rail way will never exist, and if is to exist we need rail way from Lagos to east then to Porharcut or Cross river state.

What do you want from Lagos again?

I'm not APC member, haven't gone round southeast, I can tell you PMB is really doing great, I was cynical about him towards the early stage of his administration, and the way his supporters from West were antagonizing easterners then, but he has proved me wrong that he cares, work is seriously going in Enugu /Onitsha express road, second niger bridge, Nnewi /Okigwe road, ongoing federal housing at Isi-Agu Awka South, Federal Secretariat, Anambra, Kogi /Abuja road, completed Zik's mausoleum, these are the ones I know going on in Anambra, I'm certain there are federal projects in other eastern states, mind you we didn't vote much for him, but he has shown he cares

Below is federal secretariat in Anambra, although it was started by GEJ, it was like 35/40% before he left, PMB didn't abandon the project, it's almost 95% now

Don't be a slowpoke online ..
Name one thing PMB did for igbos...am not Igbo
Truth is the igbos have been marginalised by every govt ..PMB has not done anything different
If someone did it was GEJ who appointed first Igbo COAS , started the construction of 2nd Niger bridge ...

What was gentleman, man of peace, saviour of democracy GEJ doing for six years and with over $450bn.

If his supporters are too sentimental to ask, know that God will. He has x-ray eyes. You dont fool him and he is not mocked.
PMB probably earn that too if not much
Earnings is not just about oil ....PMB has borrowed 13trn in 4 years ...that's some revenue
too ..so add that balances the oil revenue shortfall .Pmb also increase fuel from 87 to 145 ..that's some hell of money for govt
PMB has also taxed us more ....every payment above 1000 is taxed by 50naira since 2015 . Initially limited to current account but now they have included savings account including web and pos.
So PMB has actually made more revenue than GEJ and any other govt . The problem is that the money is eaten up by Boko Haram soldiers , IDP and politics
His budget this year is 9trn , next year 10trn . GEJ budget was 5trn so it same if you consider the dollar equivalent.

Why are you denying your identity. Please always be proud of your cultural heritage . Dont see your being a igbo as a mistake. However back to your question. Buhari built Azikiwe national museum park, he constructed 35kilometers Road work is on going at second River Niger and renovation of Enugu international airport.

COAS is a very important and critical position on any govt . ..it takes some good heart for GEJ to do that ...or you think PMB don't know what he is doing when he refuses to retire Buratai for 5 years now ?

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the South-East geopolitical zone of a third bridge project, a coastal rail that will terminate in Onitsha with a spur unto Nnewi in Anambra State.

He promised that the construction of the coastal rail would start next year that will pass through Onitsha to Asaba, from Agbor to Warri, from Warri to Utako to Ajaokuata to Abuja.

The president who made the promise in a goodwill message at the weekend in Onitsha during Obi of Onitsha’s 18th Ofala festival said that there were many ongoing roads projects in the South East zone.

Buhari who was represented by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige appealed to the host communities of second Niger Bridge project to give peace chance to enable the construction firm to complete the project as scheduled.

He said the second Niger Bridge is now a reality as work is ongoing while the construction company handling the project has assured of completing the work six months earlier in 2021 than the scheduled date of 2022.

“The host communities should pipe low and should not demand too much compensation to enable the contractor to complete the project on time. The contractor, Julius Berger, said it will complete the job six months ahead of the stipulated time of 2022. The contracting firm promised that they would now complete the project in 2021.
“The second Niger Bridge is now a reality; the pillars are springing up. The funding of the project is in place from sovereign wealth fund and Federal Government fund. I want to assure the people of Onitsha, the people of Anambra State and the people of South East zone that the third bridge which is the coastal rail that will terminate in Onitsha with a spur unto Nnewi later. The construction will start next year. The rail will go through Onitsha to Asaba, from Agbor to Warri, from Warri to Utako to Ajaokuata to Abuja.
“The Enugu-Onitsha expressway is on going. The Umunya section of the road that had been waterlogged has been done. The job is now moving down to Amansea and from there to Enugu; the most important parts of the job have been done. Then, the road from Onitsha -Orba-Amichi- Uga-Arondizugo-Okigwe work is also ongoing. Another road from Enugu-Okigwe-Umuahia-Aba-Port Harcourt, the four sections of the roads have been awarded and immediately after the rain stops, the work will commence on those roads.
“There is award of 9th Mile-Otrukpo-Makurdi road. So the South East zone has not been left out in the infrastructural development,” he assured.

if this is done, that will be great. I'm so proud of this government in terms of infrastructure. Everything said here is true. Umunya section of enugu/onitsha road has been done. Work is going on on the road. I drove from enugu to umuahia and back on Friday and Saturday respectively. It's almost a smooth journey from beginning to the end. They should endeavour to finish up the road. However some sections of the already built roads have started having potholes at the centre of the roads. They should ensure a long lasting legacy. The onitsha to okigwe road passes thru my community Arondizuogu. Work is on going there too. Road was terribly impassable in the past. Story has changed now. They should also ensure quality jobs that will last long. Sadly, igbos are very ungrateful people. Truth be said. We are hateful, spiteful and very ungrateful.

Am not Igbo ...no link at all ...infact my wife is not even Igbo
Why should I claim a tribe am not ....
PMB didn't build any Zik masoleum ..The governor did but invited PMB to open it .. even If he did ...it is too minimal to be of any significance
35 km road ..hmmm
Guess you are paid to write this....
IBB dualised Benin Agbor , dualised Enugu .Onitsha . These are strategic things that have impact ..not a masoleum or 35 km road pls

The reporter made a mistake, the right spelling is Itakpe not Utako.
Itakpe is a community in Kogi state with abundant mineral resources such as Iron ore needed by the Delta Steel company in Warri.

There is already a rail line from Itakpe to Warri, started by Obj, and continued by GEJ before he left. Buhari has almost completed it.
The project is slow like snail.
