Warri-itakpe-ajaokuta Rail Line - Another Jonathan Project by naijapips02(op): 4:29pm On Oct 16, 2018
the Warri - Itakpe Ajeaokuta rail line project was over 90% completed before Buhari took over.

He shouldn't lay a complete claim to it.

Umar stated this after he carried out an inspection tour of the project over the weekend.

Umar had visited the rail project, starting from Warri and took a ride by train up to Agbor.
After the inspection, Umar expressed satisfaction with the work done so far, adding that government was making efforts to address the financial constraints, which has been the fundamental issue militating against the speedy completion of the project.

Umar was later received at the Agbor terminal by the Obi of Owa kingdom, Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor.
The Obi urged him to ensure that the work is finished in time to decongest the roads and bring life to the rail routes.
The project coordinator, who is also a Division Manager of Julius Berger Nigeria, Mr. Guido Abel, had stated that the biggest obstacle to the realisation of the project is funding and hoped that government will make necessary funds available for its completion.

The Warri-Ajaokuta rail line, which is 276 kilometers long, was conceived in 1987 to carry steel products and raw materials from Delta Steel Company, Aladja, Warri and later abandoned after about 254 kilometers had been done due to funding constraints.

The project was resuscitated in 2009 and is slated for completion in March 2013.

It will now carry passengers as well as freight.

The train from Warri passes through Itakpe, Ajaokuta, Agbor, Warri and Ore with six stations in between.
On the entourage of the minister were the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Transport, Engineer Nebolisa Emodi; the Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation Engineer Adeseyi Sijuwade; aides of the minister; and officials of the Ministry.
