President Goodluck Jonathan says his administration has transformed
the railway system, adding that the people of Lagos now enjoy train
rides in air-conditioned coaches.
The President said this in a Facebook post on Sunday.
Jonathan, who described the feat as a 'silent revolution' promised
that his administration would do more in the coming years.
He said, "A silent revolution is taking place in Lagos. Every day,
thousands ofLagosiansare escaping the hustle and bustle of Lagos
traffic by traversing the mainland in the new air condition Diesel
Multiple Unit trains.
"These trains were introduced by my administration as a fore taste of
our plan to develop an inter-city and intra-city high speed train
network for Lagos. The Federal Government has already signed a $1.5bn
contract for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan Express Train.
"This project, when completed, will make it possible to live in Ibadan
and work in Lagos. This is progressing simultaneously with the $12bn
Lagos-Calabar coastal rail project. This project is 1,402km long and
will link Lagos to Calabar with stops at cities along the route. We
have good plans for Lagos, plans that will ensure that Lagos continues
to be the centre of excellence and a pride to Nigeria." http://adenaij..com/2015/01/i-laughlagosians-now-enjoy-air.html
