Shehu Sani Reacts As Federal Government Suspends Work On The Eastern Rail Line

[ad_1]

The Federal Government has suspended work on the Eastern rail line due to what the government described as insecurity and vandalism of railway properties.

The suspension of the project has been attracting mixed reactions from social media users, and one of those who reacted was the human rights activist and former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani.

The Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, recently announced that the contractor handling the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the rail line, China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCEC), have been complaining about attacks on its workers along the Abia State axis.

In the report which was made by Guardian, Sambo said that he is unhappy with this, and added that no administration in the history of Nigeria has invested so much in rail infrastructure the way President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has done.

Despite the statement from the federal government, Shehu Sani said that insecurity couldn’t have been the only reason the work was suspended.

In the post he made on his verified Twitter handle, he said – “Insecurity couldn’t have been the reason behind the suspension of the Eastern Rail line, but the refusal of the Chinese banks to continue funding the project because of our debt servicing uncertainties.”
