Aim for the sun so you can get the moon. Even the labour leaders know this is not sustainable. The least paid workers going home with 200k? Stop giving workers false hope. Please if you don't understand how these things work, don't quote me and start one illogical explanation of how some 360 and 109 people earn millions monthly. We are talking about millions of workers here. O gosh, please leave the dollars out of it, we spend naira in naija.

For the love of Aketi, I won't say what is on my mind.

He should continue to gallantly rest in peace.

Developers were not involved in the railway project, that's why it's running at a loss.

I posted that people mount train rooftops from Lagos to Ibadan despite the cheap train prices and the mods are trying to silence me. You abandoned viable eastern railway routes only to build them in Ibadan where absolutely nothing happens.

Thunder fire these i.diots. Just imagine a statement from a supposed senator

This is an admittance that Tinubu obviously have nothing to offer. All he ever wanted was to grab power and run with it, totally ignorant of how to use it to better the lives of haples Nigerians.

Nobody is even sabotaging Tinubu's government the way he Tinubu sabotaged Goodluck Jonathan's goverment.

He led his band of ignorant urchins and led a protest when Jonathan removed he subsidy, only to turn around when he snatched power to remove same subsidy he led a protest against.

Tinubu is the real definition of saboteur.

For Kaduna-Abuja train it is 100% free! We got the ticket against tomorrow. God bless Nigeria.

Note: it was difficult to book online at first most probably because the corrupt railway guys frustrated the process so that they could sell the physical tickets.

Yes, I have someone that came home for the Xmas from sokoto state to Onitsha on Saturday, They were charged #40,700 by ifeanyichukwu transport. After payment they were refunded #15,000 and told that it is the TINUBU subsidy.

For the train, it's a yes too cos I saw a trending video of passengers complaining of overloaded train cos of the free fare. Some said that TINUBU should have left them to pay so that they can travel comfortably.

Good one by the govt. But salary wise thumbs down for them.

Olodo ni e. Olodo.

The road was started by Ajimobi in 2016 and seyi meet it at 42 percent with contractors having left site for non payment of funds for the rest of the project. If they had paid contractors,the project should have been completed in 2019.

The same with lots of projects that were left unattended too and abandoned

He re awarded it in 2021 to Kopek with commissing date now set for January 2024.

You see you are now the Olodo?

The Federal Government on Monday, launched the E-ticket platform for Lagos-Ibadan and Warri-Itakpe rail lines.

This launch followed several complaints by passengers about ticket racketeering amidst other unethical practices.

The Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali, speaking at the official launch of the E-ticketing platform held at the ministry headquarters in Abuja, said the government is ready to improve its revenue by utilising all internally generated revenue through technology channels available to it.

He said the platform was launched to improve access to transportation services, end ticket racketeering and eliminate revenue leakage.
He revealed that the e-ticketing platform would take effect from November 1st, 2023 and can be accessed via https://nrc.tps.ng.

The minister said, “The essence of E-ticketing is to make it easy for our passengers to buy tickets, for security purposes and to stop ticket racketeering. it will also ensure the security of our passengers onboard the train and avoid racketeering.

“From Wednesday, November 1st, Nigerians will enjoy the benefit of buying tickets at their own convenience and without any issues.”
On his part, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Fidet Okharia, stated that the initiative had increased its weekly revenue on the Warri-Itakpe route to N28 million.

“I am so happy about this project, apart from the fact that e-ticketing will end issues of ticket racketeering, it will also increase the revenue from the routes. This means by the time e-ticketing commences, there is a likelihood that our revenue will increase.

“I can also announce that for the fear of the e-ticketing coming, we can see our revenue growing. I can boldly say that throughout last week, we didn’t earn anything less than N4m a day on the Itakpe Warri route,”

“I am certain that with this launch, I will stop receiving calls on why my staff are cheating Nigerians,” he stated.

The NRC DG restating his commitment to end unethical practices revealed that 14 persons have been heavily sanctioned for ticket racketeering.

The PUNCH reports that the contract for the E-ticketing of the rail routes was approved by the Federal Executive Council in May 2023 at the cost of N1.96 billion with an expected revenue of N176bn in ten years.
