Little had been heard about the Lagos-Ibadan Railway, everything seems to be on a low key especially since the 2nd term begins, the tempo of the work has reduced unlike January when the morale was very high. The Lagos-Ibadan Railway Project was designed to cut across three states namely, Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States respectively. The agenda was to make sure the pressure on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway reduces especially for the trailers and tankers, the reason why the Ibadan Dry Port was being constructed.

A lot has been said about Lagos axis, we have shown pictures from the Ebute-Metta axis, Agege, also there have been images showing the Abeokuta axis of Ogun State but little was seen or heard about Ibadan axis. Though we know that construction was going on but there are few or scanty pictures to show forth unlike Lagos and Abeokuta lines.

AutoReportNG got some images from one of the site supervisors, luckily, he did the regular and daily update on his page, we are lucky to have a 6-month photo documentary of the Ibadan axis.

The Lagos-Ibadan Railway completion date has been shifted for more than 5 times. In Feb. 2019 for example, the minister of transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi promised that the rail will be ready before May 2019, now we are told it has been shifted to 2020.

Mr Amaechi while speaking with newsmen in August said that the slow down of work was too visible at the Lagos end of the project, saying it was due to lack of approval of extra works that were needed to be done.

“They (contractors) cannot commence work until they get those approvals. We will go to the cabinet quickly and get those approvals so that they can continue with their construction,” he said.

He also cited delays in payment as another reason for the slow down, saying that the contractors were waiting for a minister to approve their payments.

“Our appeal is that they should please hurry up and get into the seaports so that we can evacuate the goods at the seaports, we should at least be able to reduce what people refer to as Apapa gridlock.”

The minister denied giving December as the deadline to deliver the project, saying that he only wished that the project would be completed by December this year.

Base on photos we have, the photos show how work is going on right from track laying to drainage construction to the flooring, bridge moulding, adjustment of the lines among others. We leave you to have an overview of the Ibadan Axis as requested by our readers.

I commend this administration on this.

Then who says buhari is not working? My 10 straighten fingers to buhari's haters

Gradually we shall get there

I believe it'll be completed before 2050

By 2022, patriotic Nigerians will wish we had someone like PMB since 1999.

Truth is, if Buhari had half of what PDP squandered in their 16 years of looting and wastage, he would have done wonders.

Sane Nigerians are with PMB while wailing wailers are wailing day by day.

Oluwasaeon:

kilode bro..... Let's try and be patriotic, at least for once. Viva Nigeria!
But if opportuned to leave for the Western World, believe me I won't think twice.

God bless President Buhari for imbibing the spirit of continuity in his government.

If it were to be other politicians, they would prefer to start their own project afresh, that's why there are so many abandoned projects everywhere..

Many people would prefer the glory is given to past governments but Buhari doesn't care, after all what's the essence of executing new projects when the old ones are always ignored?

No Nigerian president since 1999 has invested as much as PMB's govt in infrastructure despite diminished resources. Yet, those who wasted our billions of dollars and those who support them wanted Buhari to do in 4 years what they couldn't do in 16 years.

PDP is a very useless party. Argue with your brain.

madmohamed:
yoloba and North will wish not south east. We will regret having lifeless as president of Nigeria. But anyway I'm a Biafra

What has your hatred for Yorubas and Hausa Fulanis achieved for you other than more wailing, frustration and lamentation?

After finishing expect a locomotive pushing electric train like the useless one in Abuja.

2nd Niger Bridge is visible to the blind. Is it in NW?

During PDP's 16 years, it was only seen on paper.

This is commendable.
This is the only good thing I've seen Buhari doing since 2015.
I think for the next 50 years, it should be a matter of national policy, irrespective of political party in power, at least, 300km of standard gauge railway line should be constructed every 4 years.
