Why always to Maiduguri

Approved is not budgeted, financed, contract awarded, or even construction started.
Meanwhile, the railway to Niger republic will be completed sooner.
'Approved' is meant to divert attention from the Niger republic project.

FirstCounsel:
Why not Lagos to Port Harcourt through Asaba, Onitsha and Aba?

When Lagos-Calabar has already been approved!

I have come to realize that nothing will ever satisfy you people. Even if Buhari builds a railway line connecting all compounds in the south east, you guys won’t be satisfied. You haters are insatiable.

why not connect pH, Onitsha, Lagos ??

Not cool...
Is your statement meaningful?

To douse protest against Amaechi and ABUJA MARADI RAIL LINE.

SpecialAdviser:
Judging from how long it took to construct Ibadan to Lagos rail, I expect the project to be ready by 2050 if not abandoned.

That said, I commend Buhari for initiating such project in the first place.

Lagos- ibadan rail started in 2017, rail tracks have been completed with only the train stations left to be completed by December..

Not holding briefs for this one though cos this is Nigeria.

muuuumuuuu. Is Buhari contesting in 2023?

MosheDayan:
I am an Igbo man before you start over heating. so now rivers is now in the east abi? these people think that they have sense.

Geographically, Rivers is in the east; politically, in the "South South".

MosheDayan:
how is Port Harcourt East?

so the rail will jump from Port Harcourt to maiduguri abi? The rail will pass from Port Harcourt to onitsha, Enugu, makurdi, jos,bauch,yobe, maiduguri.

Awol1:
After the bashing they received for approving rail construction to Niger, their brain were reset.

Fools in power!

Our online protests are working guys!

We may not even need to hit the streets.

Akuya. The western rail will pass from Lago, to Kano,to niger.

Where is the President? Can he not come out publicly and give interview?

What a Nigger leadership

is this the type of English you want to interview the president?

Saig:
That's nice. But what's happening to the Middle Belt Do they not deserve anything there or Why are they not awarding anything there when Benue is the food basket of the nation and other Middle Belt States. Should there not be rail to transport that food across the country

that same rail is passing through makurdi to jos

Miracle2020:

How did you know where it will pass through?

Davash222:
Port harcourt people gained nothing. They’re at loss here. What’s the economical benefit of Maiduguri to Port harcourt?


Approve PH-Onitsha-Lagos, then, i might be impressed.

So apart from Port Harcourt the other states benefiting are not Nigerians abi

Gamesmart:
How did you know where it will pass through?

did you watch the television program with Amaechi on 1st October? I watched the life program where Amaechi stated all the cities that the rail line will pass. He also said that Mr President ordered them to make sure that all the ports in the country should be linked with railway lines.

Because of the outrage that followed the Niger republic line? Ordinary onitsha to enugu expressway, Fashola is busy playing primitive politics there. This one will be commissioned in 2060... Wicked people.

This is the only thing that will satisfy us. We know it, you know it.

The should work the talk...
We need more of actions and less of talking..

PH to maiduguri rail line passes through benue, nasarawa, plateau, kaduna. All the states mentioned are part of middle belt. Note also that Lagos to maiduguri also passes through kwara and Niger states which also belong to middle belt. The one from warri to Abuja pass through kogi, a middle belt state. So you can see that middle belt states are covered except taraba.

Unfair criticism. The Port Harcourt - Maiduguri line is being rehabilitated, as there is actually an old line there, albeit narrow gauge. The Lagos-Ibadan, Abuja-Kaduna lines etc are brand new lines, and so had to be built standard gauge in line with modern convention.

Narrow gauge lines are still operated all over the world, and it would have constituted gross wastage of public funds to abandon the current Port-Harcourt - Maiduguri line to build a standard gauge line at perhaps triple the price.

In fact, ''In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard; Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Australian states of Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania..''

You are WRONG.

The contract for this line has been awarded over 3 months ago to CCNC.

How can the FG ''approve'' a project at a 3.2 billion dollar cost if it is not budgeted, a contractor has not been identified, and a contract awarded?

Some of you are just dense.

Oh, and there is no ''Niger republic project'', you lying devil.

That line ends at the Nigerian border AS EXPLAINED REPEATEDLY BY THE GOVT.
