CCECC: We Have Completed Laying Of Tracks On Port Harcourt-Aba Rail Line by Goodvibes007: 4:46pm On Jan 03
China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) says it has completed the laying of tracks on the Port Harcourt to Aba section of the eastern narrow gauge railway.

In a post published on X, John Zhao, an official of CCECC, announced the completion of the Port Harcourt to Aba rail line.

“New year, new progress! The track laying from Port Harcourt to Aba on the Nigeria Eastern Narrow-Gauge Railway project has been completed by #CCECC,” Zhao wrote.

The announcement of the completion of the tracks was published on the CCECC’s official website on December 29, 2023.

Recently, Fidet Okhiria, the managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), said track laying from Port Harcourt to Aba rail section would be ready in 15 days.

In March 2021, former President Muhammed Buhari flagged off the $3.2 billion Port Harcourt to Maiduguri narrow gauge railway reconstruction project.

Rotimi Amaechi, the former minister of transportation, said the Port Harcourt to Maiduguri rail line would connect Rivers, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno states by rail.

In April 2023, the federal government announced the commencement of the reconstruction of the eastern rail line.

The federal government had said the Port Harcourt-Enugu section was the first target in the project.

In September 2023, the federal government bemoaned the slow pace of the reconstruction.

The reconstruction of the eastern rail line as a narrow gauge rail had elicited mixed reactions, with some stakeholders arguing that the rail should have been a standard gauge.

Building rails while companies keep shutting down..

Keep building rails whose generated revenue is less than the cost of maintenance..

Anyways, nothing surprises me anymore in this country..

Ok


Credit goes to Mohammadu Buhari the worst democratic president of Nigeria for this achievement and Jagaban for seeing the project through, ofcourse let's also give commendation to the minister that claimed he doesn’t like money during his ministerial screening.

Why building narrow gauge in this age ? This is nonsense.

Enugu to Aba to PH standard guage is good to go. Anything apart from that, is rubbish.

Always looking for ways to wail and cry.

Do you know how many companies and banks have closed down even in the US with the biggest and brightest economy in the world?
Companies will always close down if they can't adapt to the new emerging market. Other companies will take their place.
As one company can't stand the heat and closes down, another person sees an opportunity to supply that demand and void left over by the other company.
Companies closing down is not always because of govt incompetence, companies are like humans too, they also make mistakes, and they fail to adjust their business models to current economic realities hence they have to close down.
Don't always assume that a company is closing because of govt incompetence, sometimes it's the incompetence of those running the business as the main reason for their inability to stay in the market.

At least the long marginalised SE will have something to cheer.
They can do free test run until the line is commissioned
