I also have approved the cost of transportation by rail from Lagos to Ibadan. We just transferred the cost, as that of Kaduna, which we think is quite fair.” @ChibuikeAmaechi
“In the transport sector under this government, a lot is going on, like working to complete the terminals under aviation. I am sure you would have seen changes at the Port Harcourt airport and Abuja.
I am sure the Minister of Aviation will tell us very soon when the airport in Kano and the one in Lagos would be completed.” @MinTransportNG
