rusher14: Wise man pls tell me where the stations are? I would like to go for the free ride! You are the one fooling yourself here. You should as well ask yourself what is the significance of a rail line between Warri and Itakpe? Not Warri-Benin or Lagos ![]() |

rusher14: I don't google about my country my friend, those distorted stories there are aimed at lazy Nigerians. Go to any National archives and look out for what Warri-Itakpe line was built for! If the purpose of which the initial project was contracted for isn't feasible then they owe us explanation. Not twisting it for political gains. I doubt if you ever traveled on train in this country I did! So you should know I know more than you |

Olukat: He started Lagos - Ibadan rail project which about 150km and it is over 75% completion at the moment . By December/January the train will take off. It will not take more than 3 years for that phase to be completed. Abuja light rail is below 60km and all the paper work and planning were done by Yar'Ardua in late 2009, but Jonathan could not complete the project in 5 years. Get a life 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Sometimes I wonder why Nigeria is still standing as a country. Why should a new rail line starts to function when the old eastern line from Kaduna to Port Harcourt is closed down? |

felines:sir/ma do you know what container train looks like, that train can also use the track without any problem at all, we just need to be learned before we wail. The picture below is what a container train looks like and it can ply on any rail track at all, I just don't understand how bitter you ppl feel when something good emerges for this country. I'm still trying to figure that out. 3 Likes 1 Share

Blue3k: I dont know if Nigerians Know why this rioute was created for transportation of Iron Ore, ITAKPE to Delta Steel company, not Warri as a town, from the Train route to Warri town is about 90 mins Drive, with heavy traffice it not a commercial route, can the Government tell us the cities or towns along this route? Are they commercially viable towns that will attract lots of passenger, apart from Warri that is almost dead economically. |

rusher14:It's original purpose never involved transporting man The Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail line was conceived and developed in the 1980s as an integral part of the country’s iron and steel development project, and specifically for moving steel billets from the main Ajaokuta plant to Aladja steel rolling mill in Delta State" https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/revival-of-itakpe-ajaokuta-warri-rail-line-265121.html I only provided you with proof, I'm sure you needed that. Haven grown up in DSC, we already know all these I don't know if I should commend them for what they did or question them for not sticking to the original purpose of the railway. We need some explanations. |

mapet:you get sense. They initiate project siphone the money and abandon it forever. Did you know how project Obj abandoned and yar'adua came in and never touched it, instead he initiated his too and abandon it, Gej came didn't continue the projects those PDP past administration initiated instead he also started his to siphons the cash, last last we got a president who has the people at heart instead of abandoning these projects he rather finished them because he know it'll be good for the people and Nigeria at large, then some ppl will now come after commissioning saying they initiated, funded and completed the project to 85% and some ppl will come be saying yes it's true. una never wan get sense at all.

OHIsIManuEL: It is somewhat worrisome that Nigeria is still battling with laying tracks for standard gauge when other countries are already completing turbo trains and other variations of high-speed train. The Minister was even celebrating that Nigeria would be the first country in Africa with a standard gauge line when it is common knowledge that there are considerable numbers of high speed rails in Africa, and nearly all high-speed rail lines are known to use standard gauge. Nevertheless, the little success recorded so far is commendable. The completion of this rail line holds many prospects. It will undeniably provide the impetus for the resuscitation of the well-known Ajaokuta Steel Company that has remained in a shameful state for many years, and also bring back ancillary industries that have gone into extinction due to inactivity. The rail line will also significantly affect the functionality of the Delta Port, Warri since the original plan was to provide a freight system for the transportation of steel from the Ajaokuta Steel Mill to the iron ore deposits at Itakpe and provide it with coal, imported through the Delta port. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/shipsandports.com.ng/revival-itakpe-ajaokuta-warri-rail-line/%3famp_markup=1 Further reading: The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)correspondent on the entourage observed that the rail site had abandoned facilities such as the wagons, communication towers, locomotives workshop, rolling stock depot and clinic. The rail site was constructed since 1994 but was not completed, while the Agbor, Abraka and Warri sites, the tracks and the environment were covered with thick vegetation. https://www.pulse.ng/news/business/rotimi-amaechi-itakpe-ajaokuta-warri-rail-line-to-start-operation-in-june-2018-id7113878.html Also: https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/itakpe-ajaokuta-warri-rail-line-explained-id8673116.html Contrast with a 2012 article on same project: The Minister of Transport, Senator Idris Umar, has assured the nation that the Warri-Ajaokuta standard gauge rail line will be completed by March next year. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/theeagleonline.com.ng/amp/fg-re-affirms-commitment-to-completion-of-itakpe-ajaokuta-warri-ore-rail-line

gare:now I know some people are not learned. See everything city, town or village needs a means of transportation, either rail, ferry or otherwise that's how development starts, that's how economy will start growing in those villages. 1) either they take something to the city from those villages Or 2) they bring something in from the city to those villages Either way it improves the lives of the people in such community/village We're just too backward in this country, ppl ain't thinking in the right directions.
