Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi
The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has ordered the arrest of buyers of vandalised rail track facilities and other equipment.
Amaechi said cases of vandalisation exist because there are those who have indicated interest in the vandalised facilities.
He also said the rate of vandalisation would reduce if the judiciary dispenses justice without delay, adding that state governments need to create more jobs.
The minister disclosed this yesterday at Ibadan during the inspection of the Lagos-Ibadan railway project.
On the vandalisation of the rail tracks and other facilities, he said: “I don’t know why some Nigerians are like the way they are. I have told the Managing Director of NRC to arrest the buyers of the equipment. It is not enough to arrest the vandals.
