Determined to carry out the rail project, Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transport, badured that at the beginning of June, the rail transport system would be operational between Lagos and Ibadan.

Amaechi, who spoke with reporters over the weekend, said his commitment to the full takeoff of Nigeria's rail transport was aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians.
