20 new coaches arriving next month, says Amaechi

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has stated that 20 new coaches for the Abuja-Kaduna and the Lagos-Ibadan rail lines would arrive the country next month.

Amaechi said this while fielding questions from newsmen at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his arrival from China.

Explaining the thrust of his visit to China, Amaechi said, “We went for two items, basically to get more locomotives and coaches. They are all ready. It will take six weeks to get to Nigeria and maybe one week to clear them.

“For the Lagos trains, it will be easy; it will take a day or two to get it to the track.”
