Other lawmakers in their contributions said the Federal Government appears to
be dragging its feet on the Eastern Railway Project after it secured the
approval from the Parliament for the loans for the rail project.
However, the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan
in response said that the Federal Government has not abandoned the eastern
railway line, noting that the contractor has handed the project to a
subsidiary.
