Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, yesterday revealed that the recently-commissioned Abuja-Kaduna rail line now generates over one million naira daily

Amaechi, however, attributed the feat to the increase in passenger traffic that patronize the rail because of security challenges on the road

Talk is cheap...

It would make sense

Post with content abeg..

Why do i think this is another lie

GEJ constructed rail

It's a lie. Another one from the usual suspects.....APC

U mean a whole Railway, Couches, personnel and all logistics put together make a paltry $2,250 everyday??

I think Husspuppi should just come and add this toys to his collections. It's makes more business sense than being a laughable project.

If it cannot generate 5M Naira daily then Corruption is around the corner there.

That's commendable. But I still haven't believe yet.

APC have started again oo. Just tell the to account for it they will start speaking in tongue.

You are very funny. What is the total number of passengers that use the train on that particular route, everyday? How much is paid per head, by each passenger? What is the cost of each ticket? Until you have these facts and figures, you cannot categorically call him a liar!

TheTrueSeeker:
Let's do a little mathematical analysis with assumptions of course...!!!

Say each train takes 100 passengers per trip
and each passenger pays 500 from Abuja to Kaduna; N500/passenger X 100persons/trip = N50,000
back from Kaduna to Abuja = N50,000 making N100,000 to and fro

Say there are 5 of these trains plying that route = N100, 000 X 5 =N500,000.00
Say again that each of these trains makes a complete 2 cycles per day (from Abuja - Kaduna and From Kaduna - Abuja) N500,000 X 2 =N1,000,000.00

1M QED

Your post make sense, die! I am not even sure that they do up to 5 trips on that route, sef. No be that clueless Nigeria Railway Corporation dey control am?

God Bless GEJ

Nice on. More fire

So at the end of the year it would have generated 1 millions dollars. What can that do in today's economy?

Instead of being cynical, can you proffer solutions that will increase their revenue?

That is very poor..

Can they make available staff salaries, maintenance schedules and plans.. so we can see if it outweighs the 1million naira a day.

What is the capital invested and how many years would it take to recover the capital putting in plan the maintenance pushes full recovery further..

We can do better transport minister... 1 brt would fetch more compared to it purchase price and maintenance in percentage.
