Nigeria’s Rail-wagon Assembly Plant Completed in Ogun, Says CCECC

The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has completed the construction of the first-ever Rolling Stock Rail-Wagon Assembly Plant in Kajola, Ogun State.

Recall that the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in 2019 commissioned the Rolling-Stock assembly plant in which wagons for the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge trains will be produced.

Announcing the completion on his social media handles on Thursday, a Chinese journalist, and political and economic commentator, Shen Shiwei explained that the plant will offer an important platform for technicians, artisans, and others to gain specialized skills for the production and maintenance of rolling stocks.

According to Shen Shiwei, “West Africa’s first-ever rolling stock assembly plant built by @CCECC8 has been completed in Kajola, Ogun state, Nigeria.

“The plant will produce some wagons for the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna rail lines in Nigeria.

“The plant would offer an important platform for technicians, artisans, and others to gain specialized skills for the production and maintenance of rolling stocks.”
