Enugu-PH railway project top priority for FG – NRC MD

The newly appointed Managing Director (MD) of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Dr. Kayode Opeifa, has said the Enugu-Port Harcourt railway project is already receiving attention as one of the top priority projects of the federal government. While assuring that the project had been getting a fair share of the national budget, the MD commended Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu state for his transformational initiatives, saying the governor’s investment in infrastructure was already rubbing off on the people’s standard of living.

Dr. Opeifa, who stated these when he led a delegation of senior management team of the NRC on a working visit to the Government House, Enugu, Thursday, stated that he was in the state to reaffirm management’s commitment to fostering cooperation with the state government in areas of mutual interest. He pledged continuous synergy with the state to revamp the Port Harcourt-Aba-Enugu rail line on the Eastern Corridor since there were increasing demands for it by the people, who were mostly into business and trading.



“The whole essence of this visit is to deepen our relationship and collaboration with the state government under the administration of Governor Peter Mbah. I also want you to know that the Nigerian Railway Corporation and the Enugu City shared a common history,” he added..
