President Muhammadu Buhari has named the railway complex in Agbor, Delta state, after former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, announced this while inspecting the Warri to Itakpe rail line.

The minister also expressed satisfaction at the quality of work at the various stations, saying the Warri to Itakpe standard gauge rail line is set and ready for inauguration.

The railway complex in Agbor is the centre of operation which connects the Itakpe to Warri rail line. It is joined by Benin to Onitsha rail, among other segments of the country.

On resumption of Abuja to Kaduna train service, Amaechi said there is a need to maintain social distancing and ensure that COVID-19 is not transmitted among passengers.

He explained that up to 4 thousand passenger ply the Abuja to Kaduna route daily, hence the need to take precautionary measures.
