Chief Olusegun Osoba, former governor of Ogun State, on Sunday congratulated President Mohammadu Buhari for restoring the services of the railways, which have become moribund for many years.
The former governor thanked the president for restoring the lost glory of train services which, he said, began in 1906.
Osoba said this in a statement that he personally signed and made available to the press men in Abeokuta, claiming that the resumption of service, illustrated by the Lagos trial in Abeokuta on Friday, was very pleasant.

In his statement, Osoba told the president how he felt nostalgic for the reactivation he had had during his visit to Villa Aso on Friday.
The statement reads in part as follows: "I told the President on Friday at the Villa Banquet Hall when I re-read a book on his administration in which the railway figured, how much I felt moved and nostalgic about this reactivation.
"I presented a picture of me taken 61 years ago on the steps of a bus to Lafenwa on one of my Osogbo vacation trips to Abeokuta.
"I also reminded the president that he (the president) had already told him that he had a habit of going to Ifo to see his uncle by train."
Chief Osoba expressed his joy at seeing what he had loved as he was traveling from Lagos to Abeokuta and that Osogbo was reactivated during his lifetime.
He added that the reactivation would soon arrive in Ibadan and would strengthen the economic activities of the axis and would further facilitate the movement of goods.
