Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi says that the Abuja to Kaduna rail line now generates one million Naira daily.
Amaechi who disclosed this in an interview with Newsmen today, said that the feat was because of the increase in passengers that patronise the rail.
He attributed the passenger surge to the security challenges faced by commuters along the route.
The minister said that government was using the previous generated revenues on the maintenance of the coaches and other logistics.
Amaechi said that government would address the issue of touting at the Idu rail station with the expected arrival of 10 more coaches by October.
He, however, disclosed that the arrival of the new coaches would require more resources for maintenance in order to meet customers’ expectations.
