He said, “You can’t imagine that between Lagos and Ibadan, we have replaced over 5,000 clips and close to 10,000 bolts and nuts on the track and it is not a good thing at all.
“Without those things on the tracks, accidents can occur.
“We know the volume of passengers on a train. So vandalism of rail infrastructure has to stop.”
Okhiria added that government would still go ahead to extend the Lagos-Ibadan line to Kano in three years.
