The railway complex in Agbor is the centre of operation
which connects the Itakpe-Warri rail line. It is joined by Benin to Onitsha
rail, among other segments of the country.
The rail line is part
of the Lagos-Calabar coastal railway project, which cuts across most states in
the south-east and south-south.
The project implemented by the China Civil Engineering
Construction Company (CCECC) was initiated during Jonathan’s administration.
But in 2016, Amaechi signed a fresh mandate to commence
construction of the project.
Buhari defeated Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election,
setting a new record as the first candidate to defeat a sitting president in
Nigeria.
