The FG has raised alarm on the pilfering of clips, bolts and knots on the
Lagos/Ibadan rail line.
Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, said
5,000 clips and 10,000 bolts as well as knots had been replaced along the rail
track.
In his words, “You can’t imagine that between Lagos and Ibadan, we have
replaced over 5,000 clips and close to 10,000 bolts and nuts on the track and
it is not a good thing at all. “Without
those things on the tracks, accidents can occur.
Okhiria added that government would still go ahead to extend the
Lagos-Ibadan line to Kano in three years.
