Nigerian govt explains reason for delay in Port Harcourt-Aba project

   The Nigerian government has said financial constraints were the reason for the delay of the Port Harcourt-Aba Standard Gauge rail project aimed at boosting the country’s economy.The Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali, recently made
this known to journalists in Rivers State during an inspection of the project.

 

Alkali stated that the government was addressing financial
issues related to the project’s award.

 

According to him, the previous administration awarded the project,
and upon assuming office, the current administration resolved financing matters
before starting the project, emphasising the importance of having all financial
arrangements in place before commencing such a project.

 

He assured Nigerians that the project would commence
promptly once the financial aspect is handled.

Alkali directed the contractor to connect the Port Harcourt
rail to both the Port Harcourt port and the Onne port as part of the project’s
implementation.
