Who says Nigeria is not the big brother in Africa despite all our flaws and mistakes, many countries still look up to us for inspiration and understudy our works.

The Ghanaian government on Friday joined the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon Rotimi Amaechi to inspect and tour ongoing construction works on the $1.5bn Lagos-Ibadan rail project.

Speaking after the inspection, Ghana’s Minister for Railway Development, Mr Joe Ghartey explained that he is in Nigeria to understudy the Nigerian standard gauge rail project.

According to Mr Ghartey, who led a high powered team to Nigeria, “Nigeria has done very well as regards the standard gauge rail project, and we are taking what we have seen back home as a blueprint for the development of our own rail sector.”

Also speaking after the inspection, the Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi assured Nigerians that the Lagos-Ibadan Rail project will be completed before the first week in May.

“We’ve inspected Dk 102, and the only place we are having challenges is kilometre 102, but CCECC have assured that by Monday 8th of April they must have completed the tracks.

“Also at kilometre 110 is where we are having soil challenges and that is what they are working on now. Another challenge is kilometre 116 which also has soil issue, but the geological survey has been done and they have discovered that there is a high water level in those place.

“So I am very impressed with the work done so far. Although they didn’t meet up with my expectations, but you will agree with me that they are humans and not a machine.

” But we expect them to do track laying to kilometre 95. They have done sub-laying to kilometre 98, so what they have not done is track laying and they said when I come for inspection in one week time, they will have done the track laying up to kilometre 98 and they will start laying the beam to cross the bridge at kilometre 98,” the Honourable Minister of Transportation stated.

Ok

You mean a country where their waiters usually return tip.

Talk about a blind man leading a blind man

A country where free education means : one batch goes to school for 6months a year, the other stays home for same duration

Iyamri viewing dis thread lyk:

Buhari has restored Nigeria back to its lost glory. A man is not born for bread alone, we can not continue from hand to mouth as experienced during PDP government.

Things wey PDP thieves suppose to don do..
For how many years wey dem rule this country.

Buhari has really tried. if the rail system is rejuvenated, a lot of pressure will be lifted from the roads, and this creates employment also. Ameachi has also given this project the much needed attention, with this type of commitment, assessing loans and grants for infrastructure development might not prove a challenge.

Buhari is teaching them about infrastructure. Nigeria will surely be great again, with Buhari at the helms of affair. There is hope for this Country.

I know Nigeria will be great again

Ghanaian government must be clueless to have sent delegates
to come and inspect a Chinese-constructed rail line in Nigeria.

Amechi, over to you.

Been there for years - about 7yrs now, still uncompleted.

Hian

Miss road...

Amaechi can write his name in the sand of time if he diligently follows through this project.

Well I give Buhari government this Train paro, dem self try...

They want to sabotage the project, all this small small Africa countries wouldn't let Us progress

[sup][/sup]l

Ameachi, one the most hardworking minister, please take the same gesture to other part of Nigeria, we want development, we crave for progress.

see as we cry praise ourselves... they have their reasons, might be to see our level if inept and shallowness

Flat heads hate news like dis

They came to mock the Chinese fake rail

Ghana won't make same mistake, watch out for Ghana rail

who is handling the project?

The unfortunate part is that by the time Ghana implements its own, not only will it be better than Nigeria's, but will most likely last longer due to proper maintenance.

Which Asian country came to take a few seeds of our palm kernel to cultivate on their own land and today, they are the largest exporter. Indonesia or Malaysia? Can't remember now.

g

when will they revive the eastern railways. pH, Aba, calabar Enugu, Onitsha, or are we not part of Nigeria?

femtex007:

future impossible tense

Who says Nigeria is not the big brother in Africa You kidding me? Nigeria is a big brother because a Ghanaian minister visited a project in lagos? I swear this is funny

ghana is not feeling too big to come and learn, they have steady power supply, when will nigeria go and learn that one from ghana?
