The Federal Government is set to inaugurate 10 new coaches and two locomotives for the Abuja-Kaduna rail service on Dec. 10. 2017.
Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Saturday while projecting his achievements to mark his two years in office.
The Minister disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari earlier informed the National Assembly that the new coaches would be delivered in November.
“The President has already announced to the National Assembly that on the 10th of December, he will inaugurate 10 coaches and two locomotives which are in the budget".
“This means that the 10 coaches and two locomotives must arrive in Abuja for commissioning, one locomotive will be used for daily drop-off at the stations, while the second locomotive will be an express train from Abuja to Kaduna," he stated.
