I Never Knew Nigerian Railways Were Functioning - Amaechi by VaselineCrew(op):
Remember when Amaechi said that? He didn’t even realize that GEJ was revitalizing the rail sector.

He had said this when he was appointed minister of transportation :-

“In fact, I think we have a problem; most people don’t believe that the railway transport is functioning in Nigeria. I didn’t even know, until I started this tour, I never knew that the railway was functioning, it was even from his (MD’s) speech that I learnt that there are some coaches or services that go to Kano or Port Harcourt or elsewhere.”

You lots never know anything.

I wonder why people who know nothing about a sector or most happenings in the country will be selected to head the ministry housing such sector in the first place.

That is planning to fail from the word go....

This was in 2015 ...
Exactly!

He said it when he just appointed. He didn't know about trains that were already in existence and tracks being worked on.
