The Lagos-Ibadan rail could be happening faster than what people think. The senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Behari on media, Tolu Ogunlesi, shared a video of the tail leaving Ebute Metta in Lagos for Ibadan.
Lagosians and those moving into the city from Ibadan may now finally bid goodbye to the signature traffic problem of the city.
In capturing the video, Tolu said that he is presently taking a ride on the train as the video shows the train about leaving the Mobolaji Johnson Station, Ebute Metta.
