According to the official twitter page of APC, the newly acquired coaches, which will be used on the 156-kilometre new Lagos-Ibadan railway axis, have been moved to Ogun State.
“Some days ago, Nigeria took delivery of the last dozens of train coaches ordered in the month of March.
The coaches have been transported to Nigerian train base in Papalanto, Ogun state and will be used on the Lagos-Ibadan railway when operations begin.”

Last year, the minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi revealed plans to start making Made-In-Nigeria Trains.
He said that on November 8, 2019, the Federal Government would lay the foundation for the Kajola factory in Ogun State. At the factory, locomotives, wagons and coaches would be constructed by Chinese firms at no cost to Nigeria.
