The  Minister  of Transportation, Hon. Chibuike Amaechi has on behalf of the federal government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with Russian for the modernisation,  development of railway infrastructure, rehabilitation of existing Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) rolling stock-fleet and upgrading of workshops across the country.

The MoU, involved two Russian firms: Joint Stock Company Russian Railway (JSCRR) and Transmash Holding, a private rolling stock manufacturing company.

Signing the agreement with CEO-Chairman, Joint Stock Company Russian Railway, Oleg Belozerov and the CEO Transmash Holding, Mr. Kirill Lipa during the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi, Amaechi said this would boost and fastrack the construction of the rail manufacturing company in Nigeria. 

You will recall that the Nigerian government, gave the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) the nod to establish a rail manufacturing plant in the country.

In a statement by Amaechi’s Media Aide, Israel Ibeleme, the Minister reiterated that the present administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari was determined to ensure the development of a standard rail infrastructure in line with best practices.  

He also noted that before the end of December, Nigeria will receive 20 locomotives and wagons which will be used for the Railway service on Lagos-Ibadan,  Abuja-Kaduna and Itakpe-Warri rail line.
