The federal government has disclosed that it is set to take delivery of the first batch of 10 coaches, out of the 64 coaches expected from China in June 2019, to reduce the congestion at the Abuja-Kaduna rail line.
According to him, “We need coaches by June latest. We need coaches that can carry men from one point to another and we need a minimum of 10 coaches now out of the 64. “In fact the contract has expired, we may not have paid all the money but we paid quite a substantial sum and therefore they should construct speedily.
The minister, while at CRRC Shandong to inspect the cargo wagons being built for Nigeria, disclosed that there was a verbal agreement with CCECC to localise the railway industry in Nigeria which was supposed to produce 15 per cent of the coaches, locomotives and wagons. “We have to go further to ask them if we can own it, we have not talked about ownership but what we said is, localise it. Even though they are using their profit to build it, you can make them hand over the ownership to Nigeria. As for the assembly plant, I intended for Zaria but they chose Kajola in Ogun State.”
Junnian revealed that the passenger coach components are 100 per cent from China, adding that materials for works depend on the speed of the product and the customer requirements.
Sometimes I wonder if your ministry is the ministry of railway. That's the only talk that comes from that ministry.
