Some Ministers are squatting and living in conditions equal to that of most Nigerians- Rotimi Amaechi

During an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, the Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, said some ministers are currently squatting in
Abuja, and live like regular Nigerians.
Amaechi, who recently launched the Abuja-Kaduna railway line said:
“Listen to me; do you know that ministers, as we are talking now, some of them
are squatting? We are living in conditions equal to that of most Nigerians”.
He also said that with the construction of the rail line, life would be easier for Nigerians
and accommodation more affordable. He added that Nigerians can now live in Kaduna
and work in Abuja, while paying less for accommodation in Kaduna.
He said:
“For those who don’t have houses, they’re able to rent houses at a cheap cost in
Kaduna as against that of Abuja. It also impacts the savings; you have
disposable income in your hand. It also impacts on agriculture, agricultural
produce, you can transport easily and it will impact on cost of production
because at that point, you’re able to move the cargo at a cheaper cost.
“And then whatever comes out of production, will be sold to the people at a
cheaper cost. So basically, it has economic importance that would at the end of
the day, impact on the socio-economic entities of Kaduna and Abuja.”
