The railway complex in Agbor, Delta is the centre of operation which connects the Itakpe-Warri rail line. It is joined by Benin to Onitsha rail, among other segments of the country.
The rail line is part of the Lagos-Calabar coastal railway project, which cuts across most states in the south-east and south-south.
The project implemented by the China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) was initiated during Jonathan’s administration.

Buhari defeated Jonathan who was president between 2010 and 2015. During the 2015 presidential election, setting a new record as the first candidate to win a sitting president in Nigeria.
