The monthly inspection of the Lagos-Ibadan Railway resumed today (Monday) where the minister of transportation alongside the governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde, the MD of Nigerian Railway and the minister of State, Mrs. Gbemi Saraki all inspected the projects.
On ground to receive the Minister is the Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation, Engr. Fidet Okhiria, CCECC engineers, staffs of the Ministry of Transportation and journalists
The minister while giving updates on the inspection via his Twitter handle, Amaechi said it was not certain that the project would be ready in April as earlier planned.
However, he assured Nigerians that efforts would be intensified to ensure the completion of the project within the stipulated time.
According to his tweets, the minister tweeted, “Today (Monday), Oyo State Governor is accompanying us on the monthly inspection of work on the Lagos-Ibadan rail line. We are going the whole nine yards.
“From the mega station in Ebute Metta to Apapa and all the way to Ibadan. A large chunk of this rail line is in Oyo State.
“Looking at the state of work in Apapa, completing the project in April doesn’t seem feasible, especially the extension of the rail line to the seaport.
“We’ll, however, continue to work and redouble our efforts to complete the project and meet set targets.”
