The question on the lips of many Nigerians have been when will the Lagos-Ibadan Railway start work after all the minister promised last year that by May 2019 the train would have been working. In as much as we try to reply series of emails, calls, and messages on the social media, it is expedient to note that we can't answer all the questions as we don't work directly or closely with the minister of transportation, RT. Hon Rotimi Amaechi but we can assure you that work is ongoing at various locations at Lagos, Ibadan, and Abeokuta.

The minister was in Lagos recently where he toured Apapa, Constain, Ebute, Agege and Agbado Stations to see things for himself and see how work is going.

For example, Costain is getting a new Bridge, as part of the Lagos-Ibadan Rail project. The old Bridge will be demolished (it’s too low for the new train), Construction has already started on the new one. Also, Demolitions are ongoing from the site of the Apapa Station to make way for the railway line.

Recently, the completion of all civil works and this include, embankment, cuttings, culverts, and bridges have been completed, also, out of the 156.8km Lagos - Ibadan Railway, Section 3 of the measured 45km road between chainage DK75 to DK120 has been done and civil works of this section which includes a 6.67 million cu.m of earthworks, 1 major bridge, 2 medium bridges, 5 underpasses, 12 overpasses, and 72 culverts have all been completed. The Bridge at DK77 has been completed too and ready to be used.

So far, the tracks now stand at KM 123, now in Oyo State they promised to get to the final stop (KM 158) in Ibadan by end of May or early June

These are some of the images from the site across the 3 states

Progress

In my lifetime, Nigeria started and completed a major railway line in less than 3 years.

Progress..

Workers are poorly kitted

All smiles.

If a white man or Chinese man is not involved in our projects then you they haven't started.

Anyway, you guys need to read this thread HERE if you haven't.

Looks like d current govt will finish this project

APC don't need South-South & South-East to stay in power for more 30year's. They luv PDP with nothing to show for it. 4year's of Buhari is better than 16year's of PDP.

...great...

This is a project that was flagged-off in March 2017 by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. In about two years the project will be completed.

Now imagine if we have started doing things like this since 1999, your guess is as good as mine as to where we will be now.

To all the incompetent politicians and looters of our money since then, they will never go unpunished. AMEN!

Liar.... Ido nko

God bless Yorubas. What else should we ask from Baba? I recall that we were in talks w/ Russia over a nuclear reactor. More railroads perhaps? Thoughts?

Thank you baba Buhari, Thank you Otunba Rotimi Ameachi

This is unprecedented. If it were to be normal Nigerian way, the project would have been completed by the next administration.
