Passengers to pay N6,000 for first class tickets on Lagos-Ibadan rail, says FG

The Federal Government has approved passengers’ charges on the new Lagos-Ibadan rail standard gauge which would commence operation in January, 2021.

Passengers on first class seats will pay N6, 000, the government added.

It noted that other passengers will be charged N3,000 for economy seat and N5,000 for business class as it is done on the Abuja-Kaduna rail line.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, made the disclosure during the inauguration of the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Transport Administration of Nigeria (CIOTA) in Abuja yesterday.

The theme for the 2nd Annual Summit was “Building Sustainable Transport Infrastructure in Nigeria: Opportunities, Innovations and Technologies.”

Amaechi said: “I have received the mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari to inaugurate the Lagos/Ibadan rail project by January 2021 which will make Nigerians see the way the standard gauge railway looks like.

“Today, I approved the charges on passengers from Lagos to Ibadan. We just transfer how we charged from Abuja to Kaduna.

“We charge N3,000 per economy seat, N5,000 for business class and N6,000 for first class. The same is applicable to Lagos to Ibadan.

“It should have started running by now before Mr President inaugurates it by January, 2021”

The minister said there had been tremendous changes in most of the air terminals, saying that the Minister of Aviation would inform the public of the completion of the Lagos/Kano terminal.

Amaechi promised that the ministry would collaborate with CIOTA to enable them achieve their objectives.

The minister said CIOTA’s role was critical to the growth of transportation in Nigeria, adding that the country had advanced a lot in the area of transportation.

Simply, one of the challenges of extreme introverts.

Stop talking nonsense. You're the one suffering from inferiority complex, that's why you had to quote me when I didn't call or mention your region. Guilty conscience is really disturbing you.

P O is an empty man.

Kindly mention his achievement.

Even Fayose. Amechi, Tinibu did d same things as gov.

P O HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING SPECIAL AS GOV.

Is there even 10 hours constant electricity supply all over Awka, Nwewi, osha and co?

Did you know its very easy for any state govt to solve the power problem of their state?

He didnt do any thing serious.

Dem b barawo.

Their generation is cursed.

doggedfighter:
So true but messed it up by handing over to Willie. Now the state is at a standstill.

Arrewa:
This is what happens when you refused to plan for the future ahead.

That's why I always advice my friends not to stop buying cows and land... I buy properties even outside my state.

Tomorrow is not certain for anybody not matter how rich and powerful you are today.

Never stop investing your money!! Don't just be good at spending.

Be good at spending and also be very good at investing!!

Don't just stop investing... Even if you, your family and your generations couldn't finish the money.
Let Humanity benefit from your wealth.

Well in my own opinion, my candid advice is for anyone intending to win is to win in silence n let success makes the noise. Even after the noise have been made it is important to ensure you stay away from Toxic friends cuz you fit go cash ur money n they'd still kill you for not giving them enough out of it

That being said, I noticed Barbaric act as these are perpetrated by mostly SS/SE guys, that's why ion keep those guys as friends esp SE folks

CruzJoe:
Lesson for all

Chairman Mao was an absolute failure. He killed nearly 30 million people just to return the Chinese to the farms. China's success began by diverging from Mao's failed policies. His successor was replaced because he is seen as another crazy airbag. The father of the Chinese economic miracle is Deng Xiaoping and not the murderous Mao.

Nigeria needs sacrifice but not to try out failed economic policies. Even today, China cannot feed itself and that is not a bad thing.

I stated here before that heads will roll at CNN.

That was a horrible report.
Nigeria will sue them if they don't apologise and do more than this infantile recant.

Perhaps they still think it is joke.

How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too?

All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.
#Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos



I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN.
Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.


They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.


This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.

Yet they are grandstanding.

CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.

Brilliant words but the message is lost on the youths.
You can imagine if we all rally support for a presidential candidate the way they campaign for bbnaija laycon.
Such movement will be unstoppable but nay, we prefer queing behind Atiku, Buhari and co and afterwards regurgitate the book of lamentation on the state of the Nation.

In my opinion we deserve our leaders, what am I even saying, Are they imported! Are they not part of the masses.

Las las we go dey alright
