Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State, and transport minister for the
two terms of his administration on the attainment of the milestone of 60 years.
The former president described Governor Amaechi as a “golden
fish,” an asset to his administration.
Buhari in a statement by his spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu,
was quoted as saying: “Amaechi shared with me the aspiration of
strengthening infrastructure, bridging the nation’s
long-delayed gaps through the railway, a vital component, leading to its
revival from a comatose state, completion of abandoned projects, turning them
into major transit hubs, and initiating major ones across the country, some of
which were driven to completion before he left office.
“The railway system which used to be the heartbeat of
several towns and cities, killed and buried for decades opened a new chapter
under his leadership, faithfully serving millions of Nigerians by increasing
network capacity for passenger and freight services, helping to address demand,
introducing new services and rolling stock, and improving safety.
“Under him, the nation witnessed a new era of railway infrastructure.
I wish him and his family many happy years ahead.”
