He said, “We expect the figure to increase in the coming months because if we can move 42,000 in the month we started, then the figures will increase as more people become aware of the train services.”
He, however, said that due to a recent kidnap of some Chinese officials in the Olodo area of Ogun State, the train station there is yet to be completed.
