"The standard gauge which is at $11 to $14billion is 120km per hour, so if you take off with the standard gauge, say to Damaturu, you will arrive 20minute before me that used the narrow gauge."

This is utter bullshit, and they take Nigerians for fools.
Let's say you go from Enugu to Damaturu. According to Google, it's about 1017km by road.

Let's just round it up to 1000km. Anybody that did Physics would know calculation with distance and time. At 120km/h it'll take you 8 hours 20 minutes. That is distance divided by speed.
At 100km/h the same distance would take you 10 hours, a difference of 1 hour 40 minutes, and not 20 minutes.

And you think someone in charge of transportation would know better.

All these are just a bunch of silly excuses.
