Chinese company, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), Nigeria Limited is to built a railway from Apo District in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja to Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Mr. David Wang, Managing Director of the company disclosed this on Wednesday when he visited Gov Abdullahi Sule at the Nasarawa State Governor’s Lodge Asokoro, Abuja alongside the company’s management staff.
Wang explained that the project was aimed at decongesting the busy Abuja-Keffi expressway, which is notorious for perennial vehicular holdup.
He promised that the company would deliver the project within a reasonable record time from the time of its official takeoff date.
Responding, Gov Sule thanked Wang and his team for the visit and expressed delight over the prospect of linking his state to the FCT with a railway.
He said that the railway would not only ease traffic congestion on the Abuja Keffi Highway but would also boost business and commercial activities between Abuja and Nasarawa State.
Gov Sule also pledged the Nasarawa state government’s support to the construction giant for the project.
