The grand moment of the 2nd anniversary of the operation of the Lagos-Ibadan Railway arrived on June 10, 2023. To celebrate the contribution of this railway to Nigeria's economic and social development, China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), the construction company, held an online celebration event. Evbuomwan Efosa Ernest, a member of CRCC's subsidiary China Civil Engineering (CCECC), works in the communication and signaling department of the Lagos-Ibadan Railway. In a video during the event he said, 'Before joining this project, I lacked hands-on work experience. The company's training and guidance have proven invaluable, laying a solid foundation for my career development.' CRCC has been instrumental in training local employees, imparting business management and professional skills through centralized training programs and a mentorship model where Chinese technicians guide local staff.
