“Having been instrumental to the Lagos rail success story, Asiwaju understands that railways are less expensive in the shipment of large quantities of goods from one location to another part of the country.
“State Governments will be encouraged to build metro systems in their capital cities.

“This will further boost commerce and contribute significantly to national GDP growth as envisioned in the Renewed Hope policy plan.”
