President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, said the people from the South-West part of the country can attest to his government’s commitment to making life easier for Nigerians by way of executing the Lagos-Ibadan rail project.

Buhari spoke at a meeting with a delegation from Kaduna led by Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and Deputy Governor of the tate, Hadiza Balaraba.

According to the president, Nigerians would have been trekking if the Lagos-Ibadan rail was not completed.

He said despite dwindling resources, his resolve was to deal with infrastructure deficit.

Buhari thanked international community and stressed that no country can advance without road, rail and power.

He said; “Nigerians are competitive by nature, and they will face their businesses when there’s road, rail and power.

“The people from South-West can tell better because between Lagos and Ibadan by now, if we hadn’t done what we did, people would have been trekking.

“China and Chinese investors, who came along to support the Lagos-Ibadan transport projects”.
