HE described the feat ‘‘as another milestone in the drive of the present administration to revitalise the railway system and establish it as a choice mode of transportation for both passengers and freight. This vital line establishes an end-to-end logistic supply chain in railway transport within its short corridor, Lagos – Ibadan, as goods to the hinterland would now be transported by rail directly from the Apapa port Quayside straight to the Inland Container Depot located in Ibadan from where it can be distributed to other parts of the country”.
The President ended his address with a pledge that his administration would continue to prioritise the railway system as a means of transportation that will boost industrial and economic activities in the country.
