“We should continue from where the last Chairman stopped. With him and the MD, NRC, we were able to effectively tackled critical problems such as: Water pipe borrne, gas as well as sewage lines that were obstructing construction works on the Lagos axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Railway project.

Amaechi gave this charge on Thursday, 2nd May, 2019 at the inauguration of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, (NRC) Board Members led by the Chairman, Engr. Ibrahim Alhassan, in Abuja.

The Minister informed that the track laying would be completed by end of May, 2019 while by end of December 2019, while appreciable progress of work would have been achieved up to Apapa Seaports.

He stated that the congestion being experienced on daily basis at the Apapa Ports are ‘man made’ assuring that as soon as the Lagos-Ibadan extension to Apapa Ports is achieved, all the cargoes coming through the Apapa ports into country will  now be transported via the rail line and this will automatically terminated the perennial gridlock at Apapa Ports.

The Minister added “as Governing Board Members, you are responsible for setting out the parastatal’s economic, financial, operational administrative policies in accordance with Government policy directives aimed at assisting the Corporation to achieve its mandate.You are also charged with the responsibilities for measuring performance against targets and introducing broad policy measures that will curtail any deviations to ensure that the targets are achieved”.

 While cautioning the Board Members not to involve themselves in the day-to-day management of the NRC, he enjoined them to engender harmonious working relationship with the Management of the Corporation in order to achieve the objectives of the Government.

He further added “you are strictly advised to acquaint yourselves with relevant Government Circulars and directives on relationship of Board with their Agencies for a good harmonious working relationship. You are to note that in line with the Guides to Administrative Procedures in the Federal Public Service (Chapter 7), the Minister may give to the Board of Directors directions of general character or relating generally to particular matters to the statutory body with regard to discharge of the Board’s functions”.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Sabiu Zakari in his welcome address stated that section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic empowered the Hon. Minister to appoint Board Members of the Agency under the purview of his Ministry.

According to him, in line with this provision, the Hon.
