Nigeria Approves $11.2 Billion Lagos – Calabar Coastal Line The government of Nigeria has approved the $11.17bn Lagos – Calabar coastal standard-gauge line, and confirmed contracts for the Kano – Jibia and Port Harcourt – Maiduguri lines. The projects were announced by the minister of information and culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, who briefed local journalists following a Federal Executive Council (FEC) chaired by vice president, Mr Yemi Osinbajo, on August 4. Mohammed said two memos were approved during the meeting, including the ratification of the president’s approval for the award of contract for the Lagos – Calabar line. “This particular route is very important because after the Lagos – Kano route, this Lagos – Calabar Coastal route will link all the coastal cities in the country,” he says. The government announced in July that the London-based Standard Chartered Bank had agreed to provide $US 11bn in financing for the line, after an earlier agreement with the Export-Import (Exim) Bank of China fell through. The Federal Ministry of Transport signed an agreement with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) in May 2014 to build the line. The line will run from Lagos – Sagamu – Ijebu-Ode – Ore – Benin City – Sapele – Warri – Yenogoa – Port Harcourt – Aba – Uyo – Calabar – Akamkpa – Obudu Ranch, with branch lines from Benin-City to Agbor, Ogwashi-ukwu, Asaba, Onitsha and Onitsha Bridge and from Port Harcourt to Onne Deep Sea Port. The project will be constructed in two phases, with the first phase running between Calabar and Port Harcourt, while the second phase will run between Port Harcourt and Lagos through Onitsha. The project will include the construction of 1402km of line, as well as 22 stations and ancillary facilities, administrative space, and level crossings. Other works include the installation of safety systems, electrical systems, lighting systems, and signalling systems, as well as the laying of tracks and electricity lines. The second memo approved the funding for work on the Kano – Jibia and Port Harcourt – Maiduguri lines, construction of which is underway. https://www.railjournal.com/infrastructure/nigeria-approves-us-11-17bn-lagos-calabar-coastal-line/ |

KingOfBoyz1: How is it a scam? The contract has been awarded. I'm sure people like you said 'scam' when Lagos-Ibadan, Abuja-Kaduna, and Warri-Itakpe-Ajaokuta lines were being built and are now working perfectly. We really don't need your type in Nigeria. You're useless. 6 Likes 1 Share |

PrinceOfLagos: If YOU were that 'oga at the top', will YOU not collect the same billions? 99% of you that moan about Nigeria are just as corrupt and corruptible as any official out there, and would likely do worse if you held their positions. Without a doubt you would all grease your palms and enrich yourselves. It's the Nigerian way. So kindly spare us your holier-than-thou BS. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jesus they really are spending a lot on infrastructure lately, and for good reasons props up businesses and generally increases labour productivity First there was the 37 billion power rail and infrastructure initiative Then the 3 billion housing boost Then the announcement private energy companies are looking into solar tech And now with this new rail line small businesses have opportunities to take in tax revenue for the government Things are looking good for the economy |
