Mr Ibrahim Bio Nigerian minister of transport has recently announced the Federal Government's decision to spend an additional NGN 6 billion to complete the Ajaokuta Warri railway project, previously abandoned by the main contractor, Julius Berger Plc, over alleged non-payment for completed jobs on the project. He said that the FG had finally settled the previous outstanding balance of NGN 6.5 billion owing to the contractor. The 22 kilometers portion of the project, stretching from Ovu to Warri, can now be completed. Preliminary work, such as aerial survey and mapping, has already begun. The tracks will also be extended to Delta Steel Company jetty.
