Buhari orders extension of Itakpe-Warri railway to link North, South

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered that the newly inaugurated Itakpe-Warri railway be extended to link with Abuja, to create a direct line between the north and the south.

The President said this should be achieved before the end of his tenure in May 2023.

He gave the directive while inaugurating the 326km Itakpe- Warri Railway and ancillary facility yard, from the Conference Hall of the State House in Abuja.

The President also directed that the railway stations be renamed after Nigerians who have contributed immensely to nation-building.

The Itakpe-Warri railway line is a 276 kilometres railway line that links Warri in Delta State to Ajaokuta, in Kogi State.

The rail service has 12 stations with two located between Itakpe, Ajaokuta and Warri.
