The Anglican Synod of Enugu has publicly criticized the Nigerian federal government for the prolonged delay in reviving the Eastern railway corridor. Church leaders argue the project’s completion is crucial for stimulating economic growth in the region. They highlighted the potential for improved transportation of goods and people, leading to reduced costs and increased efficiency. The Synod further emphasized the railway’s importance in fostering greater regional integration within Nigeria. The church believes a functional rail line would significantly benefit the economic landscape of the Eastern region and its connectivity to other parts of the country. This criticism underscores growing concerns about infrastructure development and its impact on regional economies.
