Amaechi Finally Credits Jonathan For Rail Project Commissioned By Buhari
Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, may have buried the hatchet with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan as he commended the capital-intensive projects embarked upon during the latter’s administration.
Amaechi, while speaking at a town hall meeting on Tuesday in Abuja, hailed the former president particularly for resuscitating the country’s railway service.
The minister noted that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari could not have abandoned the Kaduna-Abuja railway project which had already reached 80% completion before it took over.

“In the ministry of transportation, we did not meet anything comatose. We met an attempt to bring back our rail services,” said Amaechi.
“The Kaduna-Abuja railway was nearly 80% completed which we commissioned and commercial services have commenced,’’ he said.
