To be very frank, it was GEJ's government that actually secured the loans for the railway modernisation program from China to execute the masterplan as intended by the OBJ administration.
It was the same GEJ who also secured loans for the construction of the Zungeru Hydro Power plant. Even Buhari acknowledged his efforts and renamed a train station in his honor. You can talk about train modernisation without mentioning Goodluck. That would be an error in history

The loans are not worth it. Why borrow more than 500m usd with interest for 20 years. Negotiations should have been. trade by barter.

I.e. build us Railway line, and we will pay you with 1m barrels of crude oil every month for 12 months etc.

Considering when the loan was taken years ago, Crude oil was about 60usd per barrel. At 12 months thats 720m.

Nigeria's project finance should be substituted with trade by barter rather than expensive loans.

Thanks to GEJ for the initiative and a lot of work done.
Thanks to PMB for continuity.
A big plus for the nation.

Keep lying to yourself.

''Former President Goodluck Jonathan has lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for making the completion of projects initiated by the previous administrations a policy, saying it is the way to go..''

Now you claiming Gej secured the loans from China, but few days ago many of u were up in arms against \aaaPMB for "giving out our sovereignty" to China as a result of the said loans. hmmm

RTSC:

I hope you know amaechi said that Jonathan completrd 80% of the agbor railway.
That is why they named it after him.

If you need link, I can give you.

I don't support pdp o.

juvewalex:
The loans taken for these projects are worth it I must say and Kudos to this administration in terms of infrastructural development.

Lol! Read the words of the transport minister who had to double the prices of tickets on the Abuja -Kaduna route to recoup the expenses.

Please keep being impressed with optics but don’t wail later when the lines shut down when they cannot be run profitably

adanny01:
Pls don't start what you can't finish. What about Obj and Yaradua. Do you know what they did on these projects?

QuotaSystem:
Amaechi never said that.

View his statement below.

Jonathan never finished 80% of anything.

If you insist you're not lying, provide your claimed link.

Maintainace would be the problem, they better concession it to the private sector because Nigerian have bad attitude to government property.Some people would be planning how to vandalize it now.But massive improvement no doubt ...Oga Ameachi 200Million shekere for you...Oga Buhari can convert it to Naira.If i remembered the early day of this administration when I took a train ride o boy fear go catch you na, but after spending three days from Minna to Lagos I jejeli retired.Don't get me wrong they did attached the oven coach to the first class coach but the rail were bad then but I can see new rail are been build to replace them.My only prayer is that the oven coaches be completely decommissioned ....Hopefully I do visit Minna again and God willing we would enjoy enough peace for me to visit Maiduguri and finally Daura

Amaechi said that Jonathan finished 80% of the Abuja to Kaduna railways.
Did you also google that

That Lagos station, when it's completed, I can even go there and sleep. What a structure.

Rossikk:


This is why I say I don't understand Nigerians.

All the loans we've been taking from IMF and World bank all these years, for which we saw next to nothing on ground, we didn't complain much, if at all.

Now we're taking loans from China to build proper infrastructure that we can all see, and we're up in arms about China 'colonising' the country.

What a confused set of people!

yeah.. it's good but I hope they will be able to maintain it... because Africa maintenance culture has a question mark attached

Done with tax payers money and you are still giving accolades as if its of his private money. That is his political obligation and he has no option

Ofodirinwa:

I specifically remember Obasanjo commissioning it, Yar Adua planning it, and Jonathan doing most of the ground work.
