Viewers Corner News correspondent in Abuja (Nigeria) revealed that Abuja Metro railway which carries passengers within the federal capital territory is not getting enough passengers as expected and this is a railway transport system which took Nigerian government millions of dollars to build. If the Abuja Metro railway which was built with millions of dollars continue running on such loss, it may affect the projected income generation of the government, hence Viewers Corner News team is appealing to Nigerians that live in Abuja to always use the railway transport service because it is very safe and has all the comfort needed. Some of those Nigerians Viewers Corner News correspondent in Abuja interviewed on why they are not using the Abuja Metro railway said that during its construction, the federal government should have planned it properly to reach areas that would attract lots of passengers. According to them, the Abuja Metro railway should have covered areas like the NNPC and other busy places in Abuja where the government can earn more income but the railway transport does not have passenger stops at those areas so people prefer to use other means of transportation. Our take on this is that if Nigeria as a country wants to succeed and make huge money through rail transport, the government should leave sentiment and construct more railways in states where more income would be generated. Building Metro rail transport in Abuja is very nice but those who carried out the planning process should have extended it to other areas where more passengers would have the opportunity to use such facility. Viewers Corner News team believe that transportation would generate huge income to Nigerian government if managed properly .
