NRC Targets Eastern Rail Line Reconstruction Before 2027

Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) is hopeful that the Eastern rail line will be reconstructed before 2027.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Kayode Opeifa disclosed this on Thursday during a familiarisation tour to the Eastern district in Enugu.

Opeifa acknowledged that the lack of reconstruction affected the eastern rail line while pledging to ensure the corridor was back to working condition.

“We are hopeful that it will be done before 2027 as the president is desirous to deliver it and it will be a good thing for it to be ready before 2027.

“I can tell you, activities will begin soon. Eastern rail will come back very soon but there is no timeline as the timeline is based on weather and fund releases,” he said.

He said that there was an existing contract to get the track rolling from Port Harcourt to Onne and from Aba to Enugu.

“That plan is ongoing. It is a funding issue but it has been resolved,” Opeifa said.

He further debunked reports that the work on the track was diverted from the Eastern District to Gombe State, clarifying that a contract could not be moved from one place to another

On alleged the sales of NRC property in Enugu, the NRC boss said Railway Properties Management Company did not sell land but leased it out to generate revenue.
