Abuja trains can’t run faster than 90km/h because we don’t want to kill cows – Amaechi .
Minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line cannot run faster than 90Km/hr because of the likelihood of killing cows.
He said this, yesterday, while speaking on the problems being faced by the rail system in Nigeria.
According to him: “The kind of construction we are doing is 120 kilometers per hour (Km/h), it is a speed train.
We are doing 90km/h with Abuja to Kaduna, the reason we are doing that is because there are cows everywhere, and we don’t want to kill cows. .
The other day they tried 100 and they killed how many cows, and they said ‘you people should replace the cows you killed.

From that day, I have said let us maintain the 90km/h; at 120km/h you get to Kaduna in one hour. You can work in Kaduna and live in Abuja. It was initially one, but now, we have done four locomotives with 14 coaches.
