Getting a working rail connecting both States business wise is not a bad idea. Hopefully there are no negative motives.

Buhari builds Standard Gauge Rails in northern and Southwest Nigeria, and evening to Niger Republic; but repairs outdated narrow gauge rails from PH through East to Maiduguri.

A president of Nigeria in Ethnoreligious bigotry

Why are all the rails linked to the North though?

Abuja to port Harcourt is good, Abuja to Lagos is okay, Abuja to the east is fine cause Abuja is the Centre of Nigeria but Maiduguri?

I don't get the rationale behind it.

No. That's not what I mean. What economic activity warrants that kind of investment?

Lol, so that boko haram can now come to the south through train
Lol.... All you can see from this gesture is evil?, what if it's how to easily transport goods to and fro the States? What if it's to reduce the loads on the roads?

Ameachi is one of the shining stars under PMB regime, PMB is systematically revolutionarising the rail system in Nigeria! May Almighty strengthened the President to do more.

Get Nigerian map look at states between Portharcourt and Maiduguri. The news is telling you the beginning and terminal of the rail. All the states between will benefit.


Lagos Kano rail is not just for the two states mentioned. Ogun states is there with train stations and even tunnel

Hate him or love him, Amaechi does not lead from behind in the leadership circus

No doubt, he has his failings as a human, but his impact is felt anywhere he is.


From his days as Rivers governor, Amaechi did an intimidating job in the state's education sector.

Today, I have yet to see any minister that has done better than him in this government

Well done, sir

Don't you know the job of railway line?

It links major cities with each other

Maiduguri and portharcourt are just end points

Many cities will be linked in-between the

Eg do you know the amount of travellers that ply enugu portharcourt expressway?

Good one from the President. When the all the major infrastructures are complete, Nigeria will become a giant land replete with industrial revolution.

This money could be used to fix all inter state federal roads and ensure security patrols we don't need the trains

And enough of the money would be saved

I understand. Maiduguri is a risky investment if you ask me.

Maiduguri is just the ending point. The rail line will for example be from Port Harcourt to owerri, owerri to aba, aba to Enugu to makurdi, makurdi to jos jos to bauchi bauchi maiduguri.

So you can see all the above cities will benefit. Like food from makurdi to pH etc. You can see its not all about maiduguri

I understand. But my point is, what economic value does it add to extend the rail as far as Maiduguri?

Lol, so that boko haram can now come to the south through train, idiots dey waste money like fools, I'm not into all these apc and pdp matters but is this not bad enough? what will it profit you to build a railway from Ph to a war torn state with over 3 billion naira and you can't settle ASUU so we can resume school

Edit: Chaiii na even 3b dollars, I guess this was what Saudi Arabia did that made them great today since they like comparing us with the Saudis
seems u didn't read the headline properly...it's over 3billion dollars. Swears, Nigeria get problem....and our leaders are the main problem we have....ASUU issues remain a yearly problem for us, untackled for the past 5yrs, yet this pple are pouring billions of dollars on projects that will take them donkey years to complete cos they will embezzle more that half of the allotted funds. Damnit...I am just weak ontop our leaders matter...chai!!!
