Amaechi, who commended the contractor, China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) for the just-completed 156 kilometre track from Lagos to Ibadan said that although the contractors slated April as their deadline of completing the work, the government would push them back to work starting from January 6.

“We should commend them that they have been able to get to the 156km the remaining 2km is not part of the contract, because the contract states 156km.

“Although am not quite happy with their pace of work, but they have said they have a time line which is for the minor stations to be ready by February and major stations would be ready by April which means you can commission by April or you force them to speed up and that will be before February.”
“What you see in Kajola station is the trial run of our local content including the tiles, windows and doors, if they meet the standard we are looking for, we will then recommend that all other station use local materials.”

What you should know: The Federal Government had given approval for the construction of the $5.3 billion Ibadan to Kano standard gauge rail line project in September this year. Amaechi had filed for the Ibadan-Kano rail project to be approved alongside the coastal rail for the Port Harcourt to Warri segment.
