Nigeria’s Government has established a 20 member steering committee on the concessioning of the Eastern and Western lines of the Nigeria Railways. This will contribute to the development of the railway infrastructure, including the entire railway system in the country.
The purpose of the committee is to create a one-stop shop for the concession, fast track the process and beat the red-tape and bureaucratic bottlenecks. The Steering Committee will be headed by the Transport Minister.
“The purpose of the committee is to create a one-stop shop for the concession, fast track the process and beat the red tape and bureaucratic bottlenecks. This steering committee is extremely important, because we have tried to bring together everybody that should be involved in this (concessioning) project in order to see to it that we deliver quickly and efficiently in a manner that justifies Federal Government’s expense in the project,” Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo said.
