The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, said 123km of the 156 km stretch of the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail project has been completed.

Amaechi made the disclosure on Friday during his routine inspection of the project along Kila, Olodo, Ilugun corridor of the track in the outskirts of Ogun State.

He said the project had been completed up to Kila village, a settlement on the outskirts of Ogun towards Oyo State.

“We are already moving towards Ibadan, the track laying is now in Kila, a town on the outskirts of Ogun.
“In less than a month from now, we should be in Ibadan with the rate the work is going,” he said.

The Minister also said that he would inspect the Apapa port and its connection to the standard gauge rail to address the challenges of traffic gridlock in the area.

“We will be visiting the ports tomorrow to address some of the issues we have there.

“It’s imperative that the Apapa ports must be connected to the standard gauge rail to ensure proper movement of cargoes,” Amaechi said.

The source reports that the minister had during one of his inspection tours on April 8 blamed the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) for the slow pace of work in the ongoing project.

According to him, the Federal Government plans to commence transportation of cargoes from the seaports through the standard rail gauge by December.

33km and we are good.

Let's do this.

All hail Amaechi. All hail Buhari. I live around the railway corner, I see Amaechi more than I see my next door neighbor. He is always inspecting.

Politics is investment, you invest your votes and you reap infrastructure and appointments. South-West gave Buhari 60% votes n 2015 and 55% votes in 2019. Now we are reaping our investment. The North gave Buhari 70% votes in 2015 and 75% in 2019. The North is reaping its investment. South-South and South-East gave Buhari about 5% votes in 2015 and 2019. The SS and SE too are reaping their investment.

When will the remaining kilometres be completed ? The line needs to start operations and kudos to you and your boss in Aso rock for seeing the project to its completion

Finally

All hail Buhari, Amaechi, Fashola, Apc in general

Imagine in just 4 years oo

Well done..

I pray you make it into the next cabinet to consolidate on the good works, they are surely speaking for you.

How about the ones in the SS and SE?

Politics aside.. PDP APC rift aside..this is a very commendable project..if all projects are executed and done same way like this we will surely get there.. Amaechi try on this, Fashola how far

Something to cheer about.

Thumps up to the government on this.

first time I'll read about development on nairaland and there won't be criticism or Apc/PDP war, insult to buhari and tribal bigotry instead of praise...
