SLAP44:
He has tried.

NGpatriot:
Groundbreaking was done in March, 2017.

156-km construction with many rail stations, bridges, tunnel and overpasses took only 3 years.


With a dedicated, credible, competent and focused leadership, nothing is impossible in Nigeria.

We can do whatever we set our minds to, we just need good and selfless leadership.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Lets us move on the other promises from 2015.

Feel free to start your own topic to discuss that to your heart's content if you really care about what you are peddling.

Btw, no more Tinubu obsession topics and lamentation topics to peddle?

RuudVanNisteroy:

I plan to live in Eko Atlantic, I don't want Tinubu's business partner Chaugory to ban me from getting land there.

Nigeria transport minister OKs employment practice of Lagos-Ibadan railway project


The minister made the remarks at a public hearing in Abuja on Monday. He noted as well the railway contract agreement, between Nigerian government and China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, was compliant with the local content law, addressing concerns raised by a government committee.

"We have over 150 Nigerians being trained as engineers in China. The Chinese have also built two training institutions for us, one at Idu and the other one is the Transportation University in Daura, Katsina State," he added.

The minister added that most materials for the project are locally sourced, bringing new job opportunities for the country's residents.

Yakubu Adogie, a liaison officer of the Lagos-Ibadan project told Xinhua earlier that the railway is expected to be put into operation this year. It will reduce the travel time between the two cities to less than two hours, easing traffic congestion and promoting economic development. Enditem

Aflix:
It's not all about building railways, not everybody have access to it. I live in Edo and I don't even know if they exist.
The government should develop sectors whose effects are going to be felt round Nigeria.
Power, dollar price, price of goods, security, permanent job creation e.t.c If Buhari is able to do all these, then we can all agree that he has done something, cos as far as I'm concerned he has nothing.

Kajola Rail wagon assembly plant to create 5,000 jobs —Osinbajo


Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that the Rail Wagon Assembly Plant construction in Nigeria will generate about 5,000 direct and indirect jobs when completed and boost socio-economic activities.

Osinbajo made this disclosure while performing the Official Ground Breaking Ceremony for the construction of the plant in Kajola, Ogun State on Saturday.

“The plant which is a private investment to be undertaken by Messers CCECC is central in the production of rolling stock, spare parts and maintenance of equipment needed for the railway modernisation programme being implemented by this administration.

“This ceremony is not just another event, it is a historic turning point. For us, the railway is not only an alternative and comfortable mode of travel.

“It holds the master key to transforming commerce in Nigeria and across the continent. By linking our ports to rail lines and now, building the rolling stock locally, import and export business within, into and out of Africa’s largest market will never be the same.

“When completed, it is expected that the plant would produce some parts of the wagons for the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna rail lines, but also for the central rail lines and to satisfy the needs of other rail operators within the West- African sub-region.

“The plant would offer an important platform for engineers, technicians, artisans and other professionals to gain the specialized skills required for the production and maintenance of rolling stock.

“This will invariably conduce to spin-off businesses in the region of operation and across the country wherever rail networks are in existence.

The $2.3 billion GEJ and Okonjo gave to Dasuki to share with their cronies like FFK, Fayose, Metuh and others was enough to build 2, I mean 2 Lagos Ibadan railway without borrowing 1 kobo from China or anybody.

That money is gone and the Nigerian people gained nothing for hat money.

Food for thought.

Achuwa1:
GEJ borrowed $407m or close & gave us %80 completion of most of those rail line projects & stations while your bubu is borrowing billions of $ to finish %20 remaining part of the rail job thereby including our soveirenity as a nation to whatever he signed in the loan agreement with China.

punisha:



Hehehehe...
So let me get how this works...
U can't talk about your Buhari without trying to drag GEJ but expect people reading this thread to praise your buhari with u for building a railway in about 3 years when other countries do it in far lesser time?

NGpatriot:



If stating know and documented facts is rumbling and killing your soul because GEJ was mentioned or was the person responsible and involved, that's your own personal problem and something you need to come to terms with.

Your low self esteem and insecurities about GEJ and his records doesn't mean Nigerians cannot discuss his records on a discussion forum.

If you are going to display your ignorance and idiocy about how long it too us to construct a 156 railway with 6 stations, bridges, overpasses and tunnels, common sense dictate that you show such examples per the countries that did such in less than 3 years, I know you won't because you spewed that rubbish based on ignorance, hatred, bitterness and the usual bigoted nonsense that you and your kind carry around like a sad burden.

Emyzoloye5:
I'm not impressed and will never be
buhari failed entirely

gurunlocker:
Aside the train project that was started majorly by the last administration, what other things do you have to show as achievement in the last 6 years?

Security, economy, job creation, electricity....

Azmanaty:
Idiots masturbating on project GEJ started and completed to 90%

Show is what the herdsman started and completed, then we will take u serious
