Agbor Loading. Y’all know why. #ItakpeWarriRail

HM @ChibuikeAmaechi: 8 of 10 Stations on Itakpe-Warri Rail are in the South South. This project started in 1987 (33 years ago) and suffered prolonged abandonment & massive vandalisation... This project was fully funded by @NigeriaGov Budget, there is no loan on #ItakpeWarriRail.

HM @ChibuikeAmaechi explains that negotiations already underway for financing to extend #ItakpeWarriRail to Abuja (via Lokoja and Baro Port), and for an extension on the Warri end to a new planned Deep Sea Port.

JB Director says Original Contract awarded was for a 51km rail link between Itakpe and Ajaokuta, in 1987, and later an extension from Ajaokuta to Warri (Delta Steel Company, Aladja). #ItakpeWarriRail
