Administration. I am delighted to report that since then, appreciable progress has been

recorded as will be seen in the course of this presentation.

It is also pertinent to state that as part of the on-going Reform in the Transport Sector, the laws

establishing three Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Transport, NRC, NPA and NIWA are

currently undergoing review with the aim of incorporating and strengthening private sector

participation as well as State and Local Governments participation in the Transport Sector.

The Bills have been considered by the National Council on Privatization for subsequent

presentation to Federal Executive Council for its consideration and approval for transmittal to

National Assembly. The Bills are:

The Railway Bill

The Ports & Harbour Bill

The Inland Waterways Bill, and

The National Transport Commission Bill

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) was established

by the NRC Act of 1955 to operate and regulate the railway

system in Nigeria

Between 1898 and 1964, a network of narrow gauge rail

lines totaling 3,505 km had been built.

In 1986, the FGN commenced construction of additional

274 km standard gauge line from Itakpe – Ajaokuta - Warri

In 2011, the construction of 187km Abuja – Kaduna

standard gauge line commenced 87

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

RAILWAY STRATEGIC VISION

In its determination to revive and

modernize the Railway System in line

with the 25 year Strategic Vision, a

systematic dual approach is adopted by

the Federal Government entailing the

Rehabilitation of the entire existing

narrow gauge lines simultaneously with

MEASURES FOR SUSTAINABILITY The NRC is to collaborate with Private Sector for the maintenance of the railway lines as well as the major

railway stations. Currently, maintenance is carried out by NRC staff using standard manual operation

approach which involves one supervising head, one supervising sub-head and six labourers i.e. 1+1+6 for

every 6km.

Nigerian Railway Police to be complemented by Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC). The

Standard Manual Operation approach is also used for internal surveillance and security.

NRC has commenced procurement process for selecting potential logistic service providers in the following

areas:

Design, Build, Maintain, Operate, and Transfer (DBMOT) of Warehousing to provide

suitable, safe and secure storage space for goods

Finance, Supply, and Operate modern facilities and provide services for loading and

offloading of goods

PORTS AND HARBOURSIn 2006, the Federal Government of Nigeria carried out comprehensivePorts Reforms that made NPA the Landlord and Technical Regulator.

Delineated the Ports into Terminals and concessioned them to privateoperators

Terminal Operators are now responsible for all aspects of cargo handlingand Terminal upgrading under the concession agreement

As a result of the Reforms, the overall operational efficiency in the Ports has beensteadily improving, and there is appreciable increase in infrastructure provision andmaintenance by both the Federal Government and the concessionaires. In specificterms, between 2006 and March 2013, the concessionaires have made investments in:

Cargo handling equipment - $475m

Terminal development - $450m

IMPROVING THE DEPTH OF NIGERIAN WATERWAYS

TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE CAPACITY VESSELS

There is continuous dredging and maintenance of the channelsthrough established Channel Management Companies (LagosChannel Management Company Limited, Bonny ChannelManagement Company Limited and the recently establishedCalabar Channel Management Company Limited) to deepen thechannels and the berth areas.

Lagos Channel depth by 2010 was about 10metres but now13.5metres – 14meters while the quay side was 9metres in 2010 butnow 12.5metres. Bonny NLNG was 11metres in 2010 but now14metres. Bonny–Onne was 7.5metres in 2010 but is now9.5metres. Efforts are now intensified to deepen it to allow for biggervessels to call.

Procurement process is in progress for the Consultancy Services forthe Rehabilitation of Breakwaters at Escravos and the dredging ofthe Warri, Sapele and Koko channels up to the proposed Deep SeaPort at Ogidigbe.
