Minister of Transportation, Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has said the naming of railway stations after prominent Nigerians is still ongoing.
This is as he indicated that a bigger station will be named after late Alhaji Waziri Kyari Mohammed.
The minister disclosed this at the weekend in Abuja through his media assistant, Mrs Taiye Elebiyo-Edeni, while responding to the demand by Nigerian Union of Railway Workers (NUR) to reverse the naming of the Apapa Railway station.

“We are naming a bigger station after Waziri Mohammed,” he said.
Earlier, the union’s General Secretary, Mr. Segun Esan, had demanded the immediate reversal of the naming of the Apapa railway station from Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu railway station to Alhaji Waziri Kyari Mohammed, who until his death, was the chairman of Nigerian Railway Board.
He said it would be proper to name the Apapa station after Alhaji Waziri, who died while in active service, as a mark of his sterling contributions to nation building.
