Senator Sa'idu Ahmed Alkali is the minister of transportation. Senator Sa'idu Ahmed Alkali @SenAlkali You may recall that during our regular project inspection last month, I mentioned that we plan to resume freight services on the old narrow gauge rail line from Lagos to Kano in June after completing rehabilitation. 12 Likes 4 Shares

Mosebolatan @OIOlawale I hope it doesn’t return to Lagos empty Dr Kabir A. @kbturaky Sir, it travelled at 40km/hr. You know it cannot go the same speed when it already arrived its destination Madam President (rtd) Iyabo Arinola Ifeoma Awokoya @iyaboawokoya God bless Bubu, God bless Amaechi and God Bless Nigeria. Dear NRC and Dala Inland Plot. We can do something quickly about the approach. Plant some vegetation please Dr Kabir A. @kbturaky The idea is to extend the apron with the same concrete as the stacking area do that all the containers can be offloaded from the locomotives at the same time. Engr Aliyu Jari @Aliyujari Shows old narrow gauge line from Ibadan to Kano is now functional while work is ongoing on standard gauge line between Kano & Kaduna. Madam President (rtd) Iyabo Arinola Ifeoma Awokoya @iyaboawokoya Yes. I believe the narrow gauge has been functioning all along but it is quite heartening to see that Nigeria Railway Corporation is now more purposeful about haulage from Port to Port. (sea to inland). Let us just pray that they make is commercially expedient for importers and exporters and cargo customers so they can be patronised. Kudos to the new Minister of Transport Ahmad_001 @Bt_ahmad Nice, do you know how long it took from Lagos? Lukemon Owolabi @lukemonowolabi About 48km/hr and it took 4 days of travel from 7am to 6pm avoiding night joirney due to security fears. The train was also preceded by a railbus with engineers and security men on board... 4 Likes 2 Shares

I was going to post this years ago, but I never got round to it. Dry ports There has been talk of creating dry ports in Nigeria for a long time, especially during the Babangida era, but not much progress was made. Laws that permitted the operation of inland container terminals were passed during the Obasanjo era and some of these terminals were established on paper. In 2014, during the Goodluck Jonathan era, 6 of these dry ports were concessioned. The concessionaires were expected to build and run the ports. Things moved much further during the Buhari era. The Buhari Administration had a railway modernisation plan which saw them complete the Abuja-Kaduna line, construct the Lagos-Ibadan line and "complete" the Warri-Itakpe line. As part of that plan, one of the dry ports was commissioned and the foundation stone of the other was laid. These were the Kano (Dala) and Kaduna dry ports. Wait a minute! What are dry ports? Imagine that you live in Kano and want to import goods. Imagine that you can indicate Kano as the destination for your goods. Imagine that your goods are shipped into the Apapa Port and directly loaded onto a train that is bound for Kano. Imagine that the train brings your goods to Kano and deposits them at a place where you can clear them through customs and make all the necessary payments, without having to go all the way to Lagos to clear them at the Apapa Port. That place in Kano where you can clear your goods is called a dry port. Some of the proposed dry ports in Nigeria are in Kano (Dala), Kaduna, Ibadan, Katsina (Funtua), Abia (Aba) and Plateau. 55 Likes 8 Shares |

Another name for a Dry port is a Bonded terminal. There are a number of them operating in Ijora and parts of Amuwo Odofin. One of the largest Bonded terminals in Lagos is operated by the Sifax group. They were introduced as a way of decongesting the ports. So an importer can choose to ship his goods straight to a bonded terninal (and not Tincan or Apapa) and clear them from there. All the clearing and inspection agencies you would find at a regular port are also present in a Bonded Terminal e.g customs, NDLEA, SON, DSS etc… 27 Likes 3 Shares |
