The Federal Government on Friday flagged-off the Lagos-Abeokuta standard gauge rail. We have just decided to flag-off the Iju to Abeokuta train ride, which will run for free for the next three months. This is the third standard gauge in Nigeria. The first standard gauge is Itakpe-Warri rail. The first is at where the standard gauge crosses the narrow gauge.
