The River Dredged

I still believe fixing AND EXPANDING the railways is a much, much, much, much higher priority than dredging the River Niger. A functional, pan-federal rail network would connect the ENTIRE federal republic and support economic development and social welfare in more ways than I can describe on a blog.

However ....

.... since the federal government decided to prioritize the dredging project, I am pleased to see that it is coming together nicely.

Yes, you heard me. I gave the federal government a compliment. And I stress that the compliment is for the government, not for any particular president, because this project cuts across the past two or three presidential administrations (definitely the last two, and probably the one before them).

Read about it in this report from Daily Trust. I can't wait to take a trip down the River myself.
