most recently the appointment of Dr. Kayode Opeifa as the substantive Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC).

“The records are there publicly showing how Dr. Opeifa performed meritoriously as Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State under the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola. He was subsequently appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari to help tackle the perennial, notorious, intractable Apapa gridlock and environs.
“He was also appointed as the Vice-Chairman of the Presidential Task Team (PTT) to free Apapa gridlock by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who chaired the team and then charged the members with the task of unbundling the ravaging traffic gridlock at Lagos ports.
“Opeifa gained prominence and accolades during his tenure as Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation where he spearheaded initiatives that modernised the state’s transport sector to meet mega city status. His policies and innovations not only improved traffic management but also established Lagos as a benchmark for urban transportation systems in Africa. Based on his achievements in the sector, Opeifa was later appointed as Transport Secretary for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by Buhari.
“I am strongly convinced that this committed technocrat will bring his wealth of experience and managerial skills to bear on this fresh national assignment entrusted to him by the President. Sir, as you embark on this huge task, I humbly look forward to an industrious working relationship with you, “he said.
Aboyeji further wished Opeifa success as he took up the responsibilities and challenges of the new office; “I have no doubt absolutely in your ability to offer your best to the discharge of your duties in the Renewed Hope administration of President Tinubu,” he stated.
