“We’ll Call China”, Amaechi Apologizes To Nigerians For Train Breakdown

*Amaechi Apologizes To Nigerians For Abuja-kaduna Train Breakdown*

Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, has apologised to Nigerians for the breakdown on the Abuja-Kaduna rail locomotives which occurred between November 18 and November 20.

Ameachi made the plea at the Moniya rail station on Monday during the routine inspection of the ongoing rail project in Ibadan.

He also said that he has called the Chinese to fix it because the government never expected any mechanical fault at this early stage.

Ameachi said,

“I want to apologise to Nigerians over what happened at the Abuja-Kaduna rail station.

“We now have new locomotives, and we’ve called the Chinese because we never expected the mechanical fault at this early stage.

“On behalf of the Federal Government, the ministry and the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), we apologise to Nigerians, and I’ve instructed the NRC to fix it or invite the Chinese.

“If this is happening now, then they should bring back our old locomotives, it will just affect turnaround times because we get the new locomotive to increase the turnaround time.”
