In a bid to ease the pressure on the roads in some parts of the state, the Niger State Government is to revive rail transportation in parts of the state.
Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago dropped the hint in Minna while exchanging views with National Officers of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria IPMAN at government house.
Bago told the delegation that negotiations has already begun with the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, for the reopening of the rail lines from Minna to Beji, Minna to Akere, Minna to Mokwa and Minna to Makera.
