Don't worry. Obi will make it over-feasible

But the question remains!. Why embark on a project you can't complete, talkless of funding it?

My solution: get private investors to finance the project and give them a cut from the profits generated within a particular period of time. I.e 12 years.

You wise pass federal government

Don't wine with the devil dem no go hear. APC will use and dump you.

Where are the likes of Rochas, Umayi, Akpabio, etc. today?

You are wrong on this even though I don't really like APC as a whole , u shud rather say Buhari will use and dump you. Bubu is a selfish , ethnocentric and wicked fellow who don't give damn on others as long as it didn't affect him or his family member. The man really destroyed d party...... undecided

Good why link the east to maduiguri a bokoharam infested territory instead of lagos? I don't see the economic value.

I don't even think obi will continue with it he will rather prefer to use the money to link lagos to east that makes more economics sense.

It’s an antique. A relic. The technology there is too outdated for anyone to think of reviving it. I was raised in DSC and saw a steel plant In production. DSC and ASC were never setup to be proper businesses. Spending money revamping any of them will be an exercise in futility. The business model has to be fixed first. And government can have absolutely NO PART in it. NLNG style is the only way to have a successful steel company and not any attempts at white elephant projects

That is exactly what happened. China's economy has suffered a bit in the last 3years due to multiple COVID related shutdowns,so they are not feeling as generous as the used to be .

The Japaneese, Germans and Chineese can construct Railway lines from places like Maiduguri to Lagos in less than 12 months.

Governance in Nigeria is rather filled with lack of determination by politicians to undertake and execute massive projects.

My bro..I feel your plight..but the truth is I can remember while in Porthacourt I saw houses and even shops dominating where rail lines are..the north are smart they know the relevance of rail lines and that's why they only them benefitting most of this projects..jus like most of us ranting for change but the northern youths knows the usefulness of having a pVC angry

This argument for the Lagos to East railway is mainly on sentiment. In reality it does not make as much economic sense. Trains are viable and profitable for goods,not passengers. Igbo people,even as often as they go home cannot make it viable. Since there are ports in Warri,PH, Uyo and Calabar, why must my goods come to Lagos port, then I use Lagos PH rail to take my goods to Aba, when they should be going to PH or Calabar port directly.

The rail is more important to head inland,not along the coast.

Because the people in Niger are not attacking the contractors and threatening them, like your IPOB traitors and criminals are doing in the East.

So YES. Niger Republic is more friendly to Nigeria than you are, so bye bye.

Goo development, but the Niger Delta region has been shortchanged, the rail line from Kano to Maradi (over 200 kilometres) was built and it was no narrow guage. Off what economic significance is that rail? Zero It was built with money from the south south.

Dont blame them , blame the leaders of the south south for being too short sighted and foolish.

Most old steel plant hardly changes hardware equipment, so ASC can still work.

The ones in ASC barely ever worked. Where will you get serviceable spares today? Most old steel plants slowly undergo retrofitting were more modern equipments are installed over time to keep up with updates in tech. I know a lot has been sunk in ASC but throwing more money at it to get it to work is going to make it an ever bigger elephant project

Very true, i wonder why or how most of the people that commented didn't note this obvious fact. You don't cut your nose to spite your face, but that's what ipob and the crew glory in. Kill your people, destroy government property, threaten everyone and then claim to be victims. Some are even blaming Ameachi, imagine. Someone they should be Blessing, our best transportation minister for a long time.
Re: Sambo: Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Eastern Rail Line No Longer Feasible by THEGALADIMA(m): 1:08pm On Dec 22, 2022
People like you are so unwise, the stretch of that
Project is so long and it is designed in such a way that it will benefit a number of states, so it is not
Just on a straight line, it goes through dense forest, urban areas, rivers, natural barriers and the likes so you need a lot of funds, time,preparations, even court injunctions especially for peoples properties that may be destroyed due to construction and obviously the senseless violence by our igbo brothers etc.
So stop being anti progress. Daftyyyy.
