Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, disclosed this while inspecting the Warri-Itakpe Rail Line on Saturday.

He also said railway fares would double as a result of measures to halt the spread of COVID-19 when services begin on rail lines, especially on the Abuja-Kaduna line.

Today, we continued test-run of our new coaches on the completed Itakpe-Warri standard gauge rail line.
