Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has commended the Federal Government for continuing with the revival of the railway transport system started by the previous administration.

In an address during the flag of Aba- Port Harcourt railway line in Port Harcourt by the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi on Wednesday Governor Wike said that rail mass transit will enhance the durability of Nigerian roads under pressure due to excess vehicular movement.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary Rivers State Ministry of Transport, Mrs. Stella Ebere Wigwe, Governor Wike assured that he will always support the Federal Government in the execution of development projects.
Governor Wike who prayed that the Federal Government will soon complete and commission the rehabilitation of the remaining segments around the country, said rail transport is a viable system of transportation to invest upon.
The Rivers State Governor who remarked that rail transportation is an affordable , safe, and fast means of moving bulky goods , will also provide jobs for the teeming population of unemployed Nigerians and help reduce pressure on our roads.
In his address , at the flag-off ceremony which held at the Port Harcourt Railway Station, the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi said that political party affiliation had no place in infrastructural development.

“ There is no party in development, just as we say the Naira has no colour. There is no PDP no APC."
The Minister said that the event was part of the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts and commitments to provide safe and affordable means of mass transportation in Nigeria.
According to him: “ The Nigerian Railway Corporation has completed the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt –Aba rail line B segment of the narrow gauge Eastern rail line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri and the line is ready for commissioning and commencement of operations.”
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Railway Corporation ,Engr. Adeseyi Sijuwade, said that the Aba – Port Harcourt Mass Transit Service was set up to facilitate business transactions between the Araria International Market in Aba and the Oil Mills , Mile 1 and Diobu markets in PorHarcourt.

He also said that the Mass Transit Train Service will reduce congestion on the Aba- Port Harcourt Express road.
The Chairman Senate Committee on Land Transport, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, described the service as a signpost of seriousness of the Federal government to reinvigorate the railway systems in the country.

That's what call continuity. APC have no choice but to start where PDP stopped and that's how a very good administration will succeed.

Weldon BRF.

I pray you won't disappoint Nigerians.

Common sense is not common. You have to change your perspective on what's called development.

Let's always have it at the back of our mind that power is transient: today you're the indisputable champion, the next, it's someone else. See Wike's speech crediting Amaechi.... And Amaechi should not pridefully think he's now the Oga too, this life is a mystery. Let's fear God!

While this is a good development if it is completed, I must say that Wike has been rendered useless. He thinks he can get favour by all these petty moves, honouring Gowon, commending minister of transport grin

What's the meaning of the headline? Our journalists can be funny sometimes. The project is one that will favor Nigerians and not the personal property of Amaechi or Wike. That Wike commended him in his official capacity should not be translated to mean Wike is seeking favor from Amaechi. The fact is that Wike is an elected Governor while Amaechi is an appointed Minister that can be fired at anytime by the President. Wike has Amaech's equivalent as appointee
