Today, we continued test-run of our new coaches on the completed Itakpe-Warri standard gauge rail line.

We've named the largest station on this route - the Agbor railway facility and station after former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Most people in general don't have alot of knowledge about what Agric jobs are, they only see the fields, they don't see the business side or the science side of it. They perceive agriculture as a profession of intense labor,not profitable and unable to support their livelihood.
