President Goodluck Jonathan says his administration has transformed the railway system, adding that the people of Lagos now enjoy train rides in air-conditioned coaches.
The President said this in a Facebook post on Sunday.
Jonathan, who described the feat as a ‘silent revolution’ promised that his administration would do more in the coming years.
He said, “A silent revolution is taking place in Lagos. Every day, thousands ofLagosiansare escaping the hustle and bustle of Lagos traffic by traversing the mainland in the new air condition Diesel Multiple Unit trains.
“These trains were introduced by my administration as a fore taste of our plan to develop an inter-city and intra-city high speed train network for Lagos. The Federal Government has already signed a $1.5bn contract for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan Express Train.
“This project, when completed, will make it possible to live in Ibadan and work in Lagos. This is progressing simultaneously with the $12bn Lagos-Calabar coastal rail project. This project is 1,402km long and will link Lagos to Calabar with stops at cities along the route. We have good plans for Lagos, plans that will ensure that Lagos continues to be the centre of excellence and a pride to Nigeria.

lolz......we are no fools man....tell us what u have done with our billions of dollars crude oil money in 6yrs....what has happen to over $60billion external reserve?.....where is d $20billion DAT was misskng from nnpc?....

You've failed in your number one duty which is securing lives and properties of Nigerians. Under your vision less reign we now have terrorists controlling certain parts of the country.

Jonadunce is like a student who scores F9 in maths and English yet seeks to get admitted into a tertiary institution because he made D7 in Music..

Get your things ready, you and your illiterate wife plus your orobo son are going back to Otuoke after may 29.

;DA laudable project. I hope GMB will learn from this when he become the president in the forth coming general election.
Thank you.
