FG Earmarks ₦71.6 Billion For Railway Projects by TheRareGem1(f): 9:38am On Oct 20, 2021
The Federal Government has budgeted the sum of N71.6bn for new railway projects across the country.

This is contained in the highlight of the 2022 budget of the Ministry of Transportation.

The projects as contained in the 2022 budget presented recently by President Muhammadu Buhari include the installation of acoustic sensing security surveillance system for the Abuja-Kaduna rail; completion of Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail track and structures and rehabilitation of Itakpe Ajaokuta rail line and permanent way (track works) in Agbor facility yard.

The two standard gauge rail lines are currently optional in Nigeria providing passenger and haulage services for the people of the axis.

These projects are independent of the railway projects for which concessionary loans are being sourced from various channels especially the China Exim Bank which funded the Abuja-Kaduna and the recently launched Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway.

Other projects include the design, manufacture, supply and installation of rolling stock, supply of spare parts and maintenance equipment for the ongoing rail modernization project, signal and telecoms system installation on Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail line, land acquisition for the Federal Ministry of Transport headquarters expansion and completion of feasibility studies and other railway related projects.

Daily Trust reports that most of the projects formed part of the railway modernization initiative of the Federal Government which has prompted the construction of standard gauge railways across the country.

Nice one. Seeing is believing tho.
Until I see with my two eyes and touch and enter and feel it.
All this earmarking, allocation, disbursement, budgeting, they are just big and useless words to me.

I just wonder why federal government cannot channel all this energy to power and watch the economy rise up immediately.
Even individual economy go rise, as fueling is killing so many business

I quite agree with you if only the kind of revolution we are witnessing in the railway sector is being replicated in the power sector believe you me our economy will not be this bad as it is today, for me that is the greatest failure of the Buhari administration they are not getting their priorities right, the first thing any serious administration that wants to make any serious impact in the lives of it's people is to get the power sector fixed i mean if we can stabilise our power sector in this country then every other thing( economically) will fall into place

You think Acoustic sensing and security surveillance are not relevant to Rail track? You know this by what exposure (not to talk of experience) if I may ask?
