“The reason we bought those coaches was for people to sit down. But people are standing, they shouldn’t stand. But, I've directed that we should move 2 coaches from Itakpe-Warri to Kaduna-Abuja. Today is the first day that I will be giving this directive.
Mr Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, gave the directive on Monday during the monthly inspection of the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan rail line at Ologueru, Ibadan.
He also warned that staff caught in illegal sales of tickets would be arrested and prosecuted accordingly. “The first directive I gave was to move two coaches from Itakpe-Warri to Lagos. When we saw the problem today, I told the MD, to move two coaches to Kaduna from Itakpe-Warri because, there are no much passengers in that axis,” he said.Amaechi stated that it would be difficult to manage and control passengers standing in the train because of the upsurge.
