Managing Director of Nigerian Railway Corporation Kayode Opeifa has assured Nigerians that the corporation is poised to achieve the movement of goods by rail nationwide.
Opeifa disclosed this on Thursday during an inspection tour of properties managed by the Railway Property Management Company Limited (RPMCL) in Kaduna.
Opeifa, who doubles as the Board Chairman of RPMCL, described the drive to reactivate rail connections across the country, especially for trade facilitation, as a major part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He said the switch to railway is aimed at boosting businesses that would impact the nation’s economy.
He said: “Nigerian Railway Corporation, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, is determined to achieve 100 per cent smooth movement of goods both along the narrow gauge and the standard gauge.
“We are already assembling wagons at Kajola, Ogun State so that wagons will no longer be an issue, and the government is equally looking into the issues of rolling stocks.”
