<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Indications emerged yesterday on
why President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to act on the recommendation of the
National Judicial Council (NJC) that the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria
(CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, be retired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The President, it was learnt,
considered NJC’s letter ambiguous, as it did not clearly state why the
suspended CJN should be retired.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The President was also said to
have received some legal advice to ignore NJC’s recommendations on Onnoghen
because the council’s letter did not follow constitutional process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The ambiguity in NJC’s letter was
said to have accounted for the current situation in which the nation is having
a CJN and an Acting CJN.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Minister of Transportation, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, has assured that by early June this year, the rail transport
system would ready for use between Lagos and Ibadan. The Lagos-Abeokuta rail
had been completed earlier in the year as passengers were offered a three-month
free ride. The period of free ride was however later shortened.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Amaechi who spoke to some
journalists over the weekend noted that his commitment to the full take off of
rail transportation in Nigeria is aimed at making life easier and better for
Nigerians. He undertakes rail inspection trips at least twice in a month. The
Ghanaian government recently sent a team led by its Minister of Rail
Development, Hon. Joe Ghartey, to come and understudy the progress being made
in Nigeria’s rail projects.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Lagos-Ibadan rail project is
being executed at the cost of $1.6 billion, which is being funded from the loan
from the Chinese government. He explained that the hitherto abandoned
Itakpe-Wari rail line has been completed and has commenced operation. It shall,
for a start, be carrying 100 passengers per trip, until more coaches are
purchased. The Itakpe-Warri rail line was abandoned for 34 years.<o:p></o:p></div>
