#LagosIbadanRail was a major item on the President’s agenda when he paid a State Visit to China #PMBinChina in April 2016 - the first sub-Saharan Head of State invited to China after the Joburg FOCAC in Dec 2015. Budget Min Udoma followed up with a China visit in July 2016.
The original (unfulfilled) #LagosIbadanRail contract awarded 2012 covered only Ebute-Meta to Ibadan. It was the Buhari Admin that awarded on Nov 30, 2016 an addendum to the contract, extending it to Lagos Port complex in Apapa. Cos PMB insists all Rail should terminate in Ports.
