The Nigerian Railway Corporation revealed 24 new ultra-modern trains will start operating the Lagos-Ibadan railway line in September.
The corporation, which made the revelation on its Twitter page, said the trains will run 16 journeys on a daily basis.
According to the authorities, Nigerians can securely reside in Ibadan and work in Lagos when the trains commence operation.
As anticipated, Nigerians took to the comment section of the post to share their opinions.
A Twitter user recognized as @speciee said he would not sleep in Lagos whenever he travels to the state from Ibadan.
Another user with the handle @LilEdNosir wrote: “This is the time to go look for a house in Ibadan!! It will be very cheap right now!! Hurry!! When the train operation starts, prices will thripple not double!!”
