The minister noted that the rail project was in 2006 awarded to CCECC Ltd, a Chinese company, but could not be completed due to paucity of funds.
Mr. Maku said that the project would now be executed in six phases, saying that the project would cover 2,733 kilometres.
“One major decision we made today was the modernisation of the Nigerian Railway system. For quite a while, Mr President has given a lot of attention to the transport sector, particularly the development of the railways.

Jonathan did not start this project. You people should just rest.
Stop lying and move on with your lies.

Confusion everywhere

Even from the link. It was awarded and started in 2006. Olusegun Obasanjo was the President then

Which further punches a hole in Presidency’s claim that Buhari started and completed the project.

Monogamy:
Why is it that majority of the GEJ's projects was done on paper?

You guys should at least have some shame

vedaxcool:


Because he knew there existed many fools who love fantasy projects and would lie like the tribal urchins they are.

Who started it Mr Man, when will receive sense?

It's getting irritating.. GEJ started this, GEJ started that, then which project did he complete during his 5 years as a president..

Those people don't really have any single shame.. Just for them to swallow their pride and appreciate the effort of Apc building the railway, GEJ started it...

Hiss

Buhari.

adekolaelect:
you too should apply your sense by knowing the different between starting / abandoned project nigeria and what it takes to complete the abandoned project in Nigeria. Wise man can you tell us who to be glorify between who started the abandoned project and who resursticate and completed the project that was abandoned due to looting of the funds meant for the project?

seunmsg:


Stop disgracing yourself all over the place. The 2012 contract was never implemented. Despite earning record revenue, Jonathan failed to fund the protect. He did not even complete the Abuja - Kaduna segment that he started.

When Buhari came in in 2016, he re-awarded the project at a sum lower than the amount Jonathan agreed with the Chinese. Osinbajo flagged off the construction of the project in 2017.

So, stop spreading unnecessary lies all over the years. If you’re sure construction started before Jonathan left office, show us progress picture of the project as at the time Jonathan left office.

vedaxcool:
See how pained they are?

GEJ started nothing, the ground breaking was done by osinbajo. The entirety of the project was done under PMB. Your hero of thieves has moved, crumb beggars should get a life.

Penguin2:


See Buhari flagging off the Abuja-Kaduna railway in July of 2016. Barely one year he took office. What does that tell u? That the project was near completion as of the time GEJ left office.

Again show me proof that GEJ didn’t pay for the project after awarding it in 2012. Don’t just spew trash. Back it up with verifiable evidence.

Ruggman:


You are confusing yourself , I feel pity for you
Jonathan started a project and was voted out before the completion, how about that?
If he didn't concieve and initiate that project buhari would never have thought of it's necessity ,
Remember in his hey days , he canceled a wonderful metro line project in Lagos preferring to pay compensation to the contractor of an equivalent to the project sum.
This time around I think he is careful not to repeat same mistake hence he is busy completing all Jonathan's on going projects.
Viz
Rail lines,
2nd Niger bridge
Etc
Kudos to him anyway
