I’ve now been on all 4 Rail Projects: #AbujaMetro | #ItakpeWarriRail (I’ve ridden the 327km track twice) | #AbujaKadunaRail | and #LagosIbadanRail— tolu ogunlesi (@toluogunlesi) February 8, 2019
All 4 have been or will be completed by @MBuhari. None completed in the 16 years between 1999 and 2015. #16vs4 pic.twitter.com/63qoDzy189
Rotimi Amaechi, the minister of
transportation, who was also on the test run of the rail lines today, from Iju
to Abeokuta said this was part of the deliveries of the Buhari administration
to Nigerians.
The minister also seized the
opportunity to call on Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari on
February 16, 2019.
The rail project was commissioned
by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in 2017, and executed by South African Railways
and CCECC.
The rail line is expected to
continue to Akure and then Kano state.

to rail up Nigeria in record time.
