The Federal Government says it has completed about 700kilometre of railway lines currently running commercial activities within the country.
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who disclosed this said the mileage was part of about 5000km to 6000km of rail projects the administration planned to embark on.
He named the Abuja -Kaduna Railway, Itape-Warri and Lagos-Ibadan rails as projects that had been completed by the administration.
The Minister maintained that over N1 billion has been paid into a special account as the ministry’s contribution to repay part of the loan collected for the rail projects.
