The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has disclosed that Lagos-Ibadan railway will commence passager service by 6th of February 2019. Amaechi stated this on Friday after inspecting the ongoing work at the project site in Agbado, near Abeokuta. This may be the last inspection before the Vice President, Yemi Osibanjo flags off the service in the next few days. According to Amaechi, “I am impressed and from what I see, the Vice President is still going to ride on the train on the 6th except he has other arrangements. It will be difficult if it is two-way traffic but we are avoiding that till we install the communication systems.
