The federal government on Thursday, October 10, signed a deal of $3.9 billion with China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC) for the construction of the Abuja-Itakpe railway.

The Chinese firm, according to Rotimi Amaechi, the minister of transportation, will also handle the construction of a seaport in Warri, Delta state, Daily Trust reports. S :Ppeaking in Abuja during the signing ceremony, Amaechi said that the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement states that Nigeria will take care of 15% of the cost, while CRCC will handle 10% of it.

The minister also stated that the remaining 75% will be borrowed by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which the federal government will pay back in a period of 30 years after which it will take back ownership of the assets.

He said: “We will give them a sovereign guarantee and they will give us a performance bond that protects our sovereign guarantee

When they finish construction, they will manage for 30 years. “The entire railway for now in Nigeria is constructed 100 by CRCC. I think that the good working relationship we have had with CRCC is the reason we have not been able to engage other companies.”

I'm really afraid of business dealings with China. I'm not sure if Nigeria will survive all these business dealings with China. They cut your nose to spite your face.

According to the bolded, hope they have checked the depth of the sea so we wont start hearing stories of how the sea port is not deep enough because of sand that it will require dredging every month for ships to dock

This is a very welcome development. It will totally link Warri to Kaduna, then Kano later. The coastal rail from Lagos to Calabar is another exciting prospect. Amechi is a workaholic.

China is cheaper and less stringent than the west. Their conditions for loans will never include gay marriage, IMF austerity or stakes in oil Wells.

Amaechi need to plan a north south rail line for Ibom seaport. He's doing it for the others. The coastal line us cool but the north south is best for port efficiency..

There is PH-Maiduguri which is too costly and should not be attempted now for security and loan re payment ability

Ph-Maidugari doesn't go to Akwa Ibom. They were planning on doing it but G.E pulled out. It's still going to be concessioned. Besides it's better to start process now than later. The rail line will take 5 years to complete.

You are very ignorant.

$3.9b for how many kilometers of rail? Las las, na 1996 second hand train dey will still buy on top. Too much scam for this country. They have turned rail projects to another cash cow. Otherwise with $3.9b they should be able to build rails for the whole North lipsrsealed
