Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has taken his wife Judith to see the Lagos-Ibadan rail line project for the first time.
The minister tweeted early Tuesday that he took his wife and that she saw why he spends a lot of time on the site.

The duo visited the site on Monday.
“Behind a successful man, there’s a woman! Today, madam followed me to see for the first time the ongoing work on the Lagos – Ibadan rail line. She saw why I spend so much time on this project site and had plenty to say about the project. Her support is unquantifiable,” he wrote.
The former Rivers State governor, in another tweet, said he had mandated the Chinese contractors on the rail line to complete one of the tracks by the end of November.

“I just mandated our Chinese contractors on the Lagos-Ibadan rail line to ensure completion of at least one of the tracks up to Ebute Metta station by the end of November. They have to triple their output to make up for the rainy days.
“Completion of the eight minor stations along the Lagos-Ibadan rail line is also part of their mandate, while they take a little more time to complete the four major stations. We hope to test-run and start free rides at the end of next month so people travelling along this route during the end of year holiday season can enjoy the trains,” he wrote.
