After 30 years in doldrums, the new Warri-Itakpe Standard Gauge rail has been completed and would begin commercial operation on Monday, Nov. 19.

Mr Niyi Alli, Director, Operations of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has endeavoured to complete the project.

He confirmed that the train service has been put on test-run, carrying passengers free of charge.

“The Warri-Itakpe, as we all know, the project has been ongoing for a while.

“This administration has endeavoured to complete it and we’ve commenced trial runs since then.

“We intend to commence trial commercial operation without charging people between Warri and Itakpe.

“In the middle of November, we have a target of 19th of November and we are working very seriously to achieve that date.

“It’s going to open up new parts of the country to the railway system, especially areas that have never had train services before in Nigeria.

“So I’m very excited about that and the people around there, are very excited; we are getting a lot of cooperation from the local indigenes from that network area.

“It’s something I’m personally proud of; people are going to see railway again, they’ve seen our service on the Abuja-Kaduna.

“We are going to run a very reliable service, very punctual service and a very safe service,’’ Alli said.

NAN reports that the 327 kilometres-Warri-Itakpe rail line runs from Warri in Delta, through Edo and Ajaokuta and terminate at Itakpe in Kogi in Kogi.

It was conceived more than 30 years ago to connect Nigeria’s Iron Ore Mining and Steel Production belt (Iron Ore Mining Company in Itakpe, Ajaokuta Steel Company, and Delta Steel Company in Aladja, Warri).

  270. Bonusy kasynowe to część prawie każdego kasyna. Są one bardzo różne, ponieważ każda strona może mieć swoje własne zasady, lecz często ich schemat wygląda podobnie. Jesteśmy świadomi tego, że ciężko jest się oprzeć różnym promocjom, prosimy jednak chociaż przeczytać zasady, aby nie być zdziwionym, kiedy bonus zostanie wycofany z Twojego konta w kasynie. Kasyno bonusy, które możesz dostać najłatwiej, to te bez depozytu. Jak już wspominaliśmy, wystarczy, że się zarejestrujesz lub wpiszesz kod, a promocja będzie czekać na Twoim koncie, co jest bardzo wygodne. Głównym błędem użytkowników jest wybór nielicencjonowanych kasyn online. W takim przypadku nie będziesz mógł otworzyć sporu z operatorem i udowodnić swojej racji. Korzystając z naszego rankingu, możesz zacząć grać w legalnym polskim kasynie w renomowanych jurysdykcjach. W przypadku problemów można skontaktować się bezpośrednio z regulatorem. Jeśli zostanie wykryty błąd kasyna, otrzymasz pieniądze, a kasyno zostanie ukarane znaczną grzywną pieniężną.

    Losowanie rozpoczniemy od opróżnienia koszyka numer jeden. Następnie “sierotki” opróżniać będą koszyk numer dwa, później numer trzy i na końcu koszyk numer cztery. Wylosowywane drużyny trafiać będą kolejno od grupy A do grupy H. Drużyny z koszyka pierwszego znajdą się na pierwszym miejscu w swojej grupie. Rosjanie, jako gospodarze, automatycznie trafią do grupy A. W 1978 roku na ekrany kin wszedł film The Deer Hunter z Robertem De Niro, który „uwielbił”; Rosyjska ruletka na cały świat. Scena z filmu, w której trzech żołnierzy biorących udział w wojnie w Wietnamie zmuszono do gry w rosyjską ruletkę, trwała dalej: po seansie w Stanach Zjednoczonych zarejestrowano kilka podobnych przypadków, które zakończyły się śmiercią uczestników.
