EDR Advances Railway Expansion Through Local Expertise

The Ethio Djibouti Railway Corporation has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding Ethiopia’s railway infrastructure by strengthening domestic technical capacity and operational independence.

Chief Executive Officer of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway Corporation, Takele Uma, made the remarks as the corporation’s leadership and employees marked the 130th anniversary of the Victory of Adwa with a field visit to ongoing railway development sites.

The CEO called on the current generation to honor the legacy of past heroes through tangible development achievements.

Staff members toured the AMG–Indoode Link Railway Project, a key segment under construction by the corporation using its own engineers, technicians and operational teams.

The project stands as a clear demonstration of the institution’s growing ability to design, manage and execute complex railway works without external contractors

“Our forefathers built this nation through sacrifice. It is our responsibility to replicate their contribution by advancing development and strengthening national capacity,” he said. (ENA)
