President Goodluck Jonathan seeks continuation of ongoing projects from the Buhari's administration.

President Goodluck Jonathan has urged the incoming Buhari administration to continue to boost the railway system as the cheapest and most effective mode of mass transit in the country. He has also implored the incoming adminstration to continue the other unfinished projects.

We cannot do mass transit using taxis, small cars and small buses even the luxury buses.
“it will be too expensive until our rail system works.
“That is why we are emphasizing on inter-city rail and intra-city light rail systems and of course this government is leaving on May 29 but the incoming government will definitely continue.
“This is a noble project, it will benefit Nigerians, especially residents of the FCT.
“I am quite appreciative of the level of completion; the CCECC (China Engineering and Construction Company) has been doing very well.
“I am quite impressed; I have been wanting to come and inspect this project for a very long time but it has been so challenging in terms of my commitments.
“I think this period I really need to do so that when I am having conversation with the incoming President; I know exactly what to tell him.
“I have seen it myself. I have seen the level of completion and of course we know the usefulness of this project to us in terms of easing the movement of people in the federal capital territory.
“I have to congratulate Nigerians for this project’’
