The Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi has said that a lot of ministers are not as rich as people assume and are living in conditions similar to most Nigerians.
He said this in an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, stating that ministers were normal people.
He said, “Listen to me; do you know that ministers, as we are talking now, some of them are squatting? We are living in conditions equal to that of most Nigerians.”
He also talked up the potential of the railways line that connects Kaduna to Abuja stating that people who lived in Kaduna could now work in Abuja and this would help living conditions and expenses.
“For those who don’t have houses, they’re able to rent houses at a cheap cost in Kaduna as against that of Abuja. It also impacts the savings; you have disposable income in your hand. It also impacts on agriculture, agricultural produce, you can transport easily and it will impact on cost of production because at that point, you’re able to move the cargo at a cheaper cost.”
“And then whatever comes out of production, will be sold to the people at a cheaper cost. So basically, it has economic importance that would at the end of the day, impact on the socio-economic entities of Kaduna and Abuja.” He concluded.
