While speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony today being Tuesday 7th March, 2017, Osinbajo said the rail line is just one segment of the Lagos-Kano railway project, which is an integral part of the national rail project. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo also said the Lagos-Ibadan standard guage railway line will create 500,000 jobs.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari renegotiated the project with the Chinese in 2016. He added that the railway will be ready in December 2018.

According to VP, “If there is a project close to the heart of the president, it is this rail project he personally promised the people of this nation,” .

“Our appreciation goes to the Chinese government, who have always proven to be reliable partners with Nigeria. As some may be aware, we have the entire Lagos-Kano standard guage track, as well as the Lagos-Calabar railway track in the 2017 budget.

“Negotiations of the Kaduna-Kano portion of the track is now completed and this phase is next in line. We have already provided our portion of funding for the Lagos-Calabar route as well. “We expect that negotiations for the foreign component of the funding will be finalised in the next few months. The Lagos-Calabar rail will come on stream.

“An active and vibrant railway system confers many benefits on society, and our ultimate goal is to restore the railway using culture for both commercial and personal travels. “The national railway project will create up to half a million jobs, and facilitate the movement of over 3.2 tonnes of cargo per annum.”

How many jobs goes to Nigerians and how goes to the Chinese people

Awaiting December 2018.

How many jobs goes to Nigerians and how goes to the Chinese people .

Please which Lagos to Ibadan?

I bet you can employ more than 10k

How please? No be only 500,000 jobs, na for say 500 billion jobs.

Another Scam. Mostly labour jobs. Contract ends after constructing the rail line.

Ripple-effect, son.

The chance that this project will be abandoned is low, because counterpart funding by FG has been released in full, we expect no go-slow.

Slowly moving forward.

Sort out the power issue and stop child marriage and the impediments to education that children in the north face and see Nigeria finally take off.
