Contractor: Why Dec Deadline for Lagos-Ibadan Rail Project May Not be Feasible

The contractor handling the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail project, the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC), has disclosed that the December 2018 deadline given by the federal government for the completion of the project might not be feasible if it fails to address the identified challenges.

A senior official of CCECC, who did not want to be named, disclosed to THISDAY that the project has been bedeviled with some huge challenges that are threatening the revised completion deadline for the project.

He said that beyond the two bridges that would be demolished in Lagos and rebuilt, several kilometers of gas, water pipes and telecoms cables would have to be relocated.
