On Wednesday, 23rd November 2016, the Managing Director, Nigeria Railway Corporation, Mr Fidet Okhiria, announced that the corporation will soon deploy a 150-kilometre-per hour locomotive on Abuja-Kaduna rail gauge to meet passengers’ demands.

“Very soon, we will get the 150km per hour locomotive being shipped; engineers have just gone for the final factory acceptance test,”Mr Okhiria said.
