President Buhari and the Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi and Minister for Works, Power, and Housing, Tunde Fashola
achieved a major campaign promise by administration.
It was a mere 50-minute ride, yet it was historic in many ways. The first standard guage rail line between Lagos, Nigeria’s business headquarters, and Ibadan in the heart of the Southwest was test run. The 36-kilometre journey was the result of a project that began in June 2017. Leading the group of select passengers was Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi. The 150km per hour speed will be realised early next year when the job is completed. It is comfortable inside the rail car.
