METRO EXPRESS: LAGOS –IBADAN RAILWAY PROJECT SET TO BEGIN

METRO EXPRESS: LAGOS –IBADAN RAILWAY PROJECT SET TO BEGIN

The Federal Government assured Nigerians that the contractor handling the construction of Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge double rail track would soon commence actions on the projects. Minister of Transport, Senator Idris Umar who disclosed in Abuja while inaugurating the Board of Directors of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, said the government is equally working to ensure that the rehabilitation of the Railway line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri will be completed this year.

If the intervention funds for various capital projects in this government are judiciously used and accounted for, it will automatically lead to a chain reaction in the socio economic development of the Nigerian Economy. New Channels should be opened which will further promote trade and commerce in our country. A laudable project indeed.
