Ekiti State Government has appealed to the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, extend the railway system to the state in a bid to boost its participation in international trade and achievement of the ongoing diversification of economy.
State Commissioner for Commerce, Michael Ayodele, said the rail line extension was necessary because “a lot of agricultural products are being wasted in Ekiti State because of lack of opportunities to move them out en-mass for export purpose.
The Commissioner, represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce, Mr. Babatunde Akilo, spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, yesterday at a one-day enlightenment seminar organised by the Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) with the theme: “Ports Regulation: A Panacea to a Cost Effective Import/Export in Ekiti State”.

He said: “There is a limit to which evacuation can be done by road. Extension of railway system to Ekiti State would definitely increase the export potentialities of the Shippers Council”, calling on the council to use its position “to influence the establishment of more industries in the state”, saying such would serve as catalyst to its events”.
This was as stakeholders in shippers activities at the programme requested for the establishment of a warehouse in the state where their products and commodities would be housed for export rather than resorting to use of warehouses in Lagos for that purpose.

Lol..didn't he say his grand father is clueless?

fayose my guy

did he withdraw his letter ?

Ekiti is a state of the federal republic of Nigeria so I can't see what's wrong in their governor's request

P/S Lie Mohammed claimed that this government has recovered $100 trillion from Jonathan's family alone and $200 trillion from Diezani's and more are still being recovered. There's nothing wrong if Buhari uses these surplus recovered loots to extend his "Chainj" to ekiti na..

He should wait till whenever PDP takes over FG or he can do a light rail like Lagos state.

Is he proposing an alteration to the original plan and route for which funding has been secured and appropriated?

Is he also aware that the same Chinese government he asked not to grant us loans would be responsible for the project?

Fayose is just one mentally unstable man whom God has blessed with prominence. I suggest that funds should be appropriated in the 2017 budget for Fayose's rehabilitation.

That man is such a bundle of contradictions!

Which one, hope he is not talking about the one signed n China trip?

When people dey talk, they should reason the repercussion!

He is the govenor of a state of the federal republic of Nigeria, and so has every right to highlight to the FG economic options that would be rewarding to his state and to the nation

All hail PDP leader and beerfraud first president who congenital stewpidity competes favourably with Jogogoro.

OK, a governor who sees nothing good with the present govt? He can go ahead and build is own rail now..rubbish

so this clown now know that there is something d present administration is doing that is highly beneficial to his state stupid clown like fayose should be in d zoo he is so disgusting

He is such a shameless and good for nothing attention seeker who is gradually ruining the future of Ekiti state people.

The Lagos to Calabar railway line which he's now begging to be extended to Ekiti state will be partly funded by loans that PMB negotiated in China. The same loan Fayose wrote to the Chinese not to grant. If the Chinese have listened to him, will their be a rail line to be extended to Ekiti?

You supporters of Fayose really needs to call him to order. Playing opposition is not the same thing as displaying buffoonrey on every decisions of the ruling party. He should start delivering the dividends of democracy to Ekiti people instead of ranting in the media over issues that are beyond his comprehension.

Fayose apart from being unstable is a Troll but he surely couldn't have sent this commissioner this errand!!

Rail line? How is that possible? Where to where? Funds from where?

Did the "investors" at his photoshoot at the train station in China renege?

He should discuss with Amaechi first

I doubt if a "dying old man"; "the man that wouldn't last long etc" can hear this ur request. Remember he hasn't heard all these your request/insults....what makes governor Fayose thinks that PMB will hear this one?



Actually he didn't say that with his mouth.... I for say wetin enter ehm head again.... Ekiti state people governor.... respect Sir.

Me wonder o. Who wants that meat cutting tout of a despicable dolt as a grandson?. This Fayose self

Alawoku Fayose.

I find this news awkward

Begging your grandfather for rail network after abusing him in public.

Hmm. . .Rail in a small rocky civil servant state. I though PMB was supposed to have died according to Fayose.

if you can't see, I'll show you:

1. Fayose has proven to secretly admire the change agenda.

2. Fayose has shown he is just a loud mouth talkative. where one of his aide keeps writing press statements about how clueless the FG is, another one is writing the FG to extend it's productive hands to help them.

3. Fayose has shown he lacks original thinking and foresight if not he would have been able to see that he too needs the government that he constantly criticises. I am pretty sure now that his proposal wouldn't be given a look in.

4. you PDP goons, the sooner you realise that the Buhari administration is by far more reliable, mature, coordinated, composed, committed to governance than the PDP can ever be. the sooner you realise that, the better for you.

Oh! so what if the Chinese Coy that will handle the rail construction adhered to his purported to Chinese Govt? If u see anything good in Fayose then u are just like him
