The minster for transport recently said Lagos/Ibadan rail line may not be completed by April as initially expected. Here are some of the progress made so far.

Ebute Metta station: Ebute metta station is called a mega station because it'll be the biggest of all and also has two terminals.

* Ibadan station (1 & 2): work has progressed on Ibadan station, they're now topping it.

* Abeokuta station (3 & 4): According to H.R Ameachi, Abeokuta station is being constructed at a slow pace.

The 12 selected Nigerian engineers undergoing training are through with the training.

2 DMU's and 16 Coaches on their way to Nigeria.

* Papalanto and Agege station (design 1& 2)

* inside one of the coaches (Economy class, 3rd pic and First class, 4th pic)

Note: A wagon plant is being built in Papalanto, Ogun state. Mr. Rotimi Ameachi have this to say about it..

We agreed with the Chinese that they will build a Wagon Assembly Plant in #Nigeria. Will start off assembling wagons. 5 years after, will start manufacturing wagons & assembling locomotives & coaches; 10 years later, will start manuf. locos & coaches.

Well, even if it's not 100% , i am proud of what this government especially Minister of transport is achieving so far

This administration is probably not going to take the glory for this beauty , but it will forever be in the history books , the investment alone is making some engineers very rich , transport / shipping companies are getting richer , the ones who complain all the time are idiots who sit behind computer all day just to complain


Nigeria will be great again , but it will have to start somewhere and THIS IS SOMEWHERE !!!!

We thank almighty God for this.

May God in His mercy help us solve the insecurity problems in Nigeria.

Ok

They're building the railway lines to help the igbos transport their goods easier

If you look closely you'd see chinese contractors


These guys would just take everything we have in nigeria slowly, one by one by one while we are debating amotekun, 2023 presidency and what not.

Throughout the ember months, Nairaland was flooded with news between nigeria and the chinese. Even jack ma came here sef.

The other day, one chinese man married an anambra woman.

Its no longer conspiracy. ITS HAPPENING ALREADY

Chinese invasion of africa...

in another news

If GMB had kept his promise on rail transportation agenda.
Nigeria would have settled their transportation issues.

Nice job though

Cool

Impressive

Promise and fail gonment

Good job and I hope same infrastructal facilities development will be well replicated across board to foster economic growth via offering an effective mode of transportation services in the country at least.

Meanwhile,


A 2bedroom flat is available in Shasha, Akowonjo, Lagos. Interested person(s) should check my signature for contact for more info.

Are these speed trains? If they are, then this initiative will seriously decongest some parts of Lagos. Imagine living in Abeokuta and you can get to CMS under one hour, or Ibadan, Ore, Oyo and you can get to CMS/Obalende in 50 mins to an hour. Not only will it improve the distribution of wealth, traffic will lessen in Lagos and govt will earn revenue.

They shouldn't bring trains that will use 5 hours from Ibadan to Lagos, they'll be pretty useless

This is a very good development and when this is completed people can conveniently be living in ibadan or Abeokuta and working in Lagos. All you need to do is take a train from ibadan straight to lagos and back.
It will discongest our roads , it will boost tourism and above all will improve the standard of living. Rather than spending 3 hours in traffic you spend 1 hour or less to get to your destination

Ok. It is noted.

Great . Tinubu to continue.

This is a welcome development,

Transport Infrastructure is very important to the transportation of trade and commerce within cities or towns.

Bearing in mind how precarious and dangeroud Lagos Ibadan expressway is.

Just jump on the train and in 1 hour you are in Ibadan

Im so excited for this.

Very smart entreprenouers would start looking for land now around the final stop of the station in Ibadan, things such as hotels, malls, shopping centres can easily pop up there.

Imagine leaving lagos the same day to go shopping in ibadan and return back the same day by train. This is how big cities were built

Wao, this is a beauty to behold, weldone Rotimi Ameachi

Amaechi you are doing the work they paid you to do well done but ehn If only this train was going from Lagos to Europe instead of ehn Ibadan oga Amaechi you sef try reason am

Hope it's reduce traffic and road congestion

It is well pples.

One day, one day

We shall get there.

One day at a time.

Ok

God bless President Buhari
