In a move that has been widely applauded as both strategic and well-deserved, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Dr. Kayode Opeifa as the new Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC). Dr. Opeifa, a renowned transportation expert and former Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, is set to bring his extensive experience and visionary leadership to the nation’s railway system.

Hailing from Agege, Lagos State, Dr. Opeifa’s career is marked by a series of transformative achievements in Nigeria’s transportation sector. As Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State, he spearheaded numerous groundbreaking initiatives that revolutionized public transport and traffic management in one of Africa’s most populous cities. His efforts not only alleviated the city’s notorious traffic congestion but also laid the groundwork for the state’s evolving status as a global megacity.

Following his tenure in Lagos, Dr. Opeifa was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari as the Transport Secretary for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In this capacity, he continued his legacy of excellence, overseeing the development of efficient and sustainable transportation systems in the nation’s capital.

Now at the helm of the NRC, Dr. Opeifa is tasked with revitalizing Nigeria’s railway infrastructure, a critical component of the country’s economic development strategy. With his unparalleled expertise in transportation systems and a proven track record of success, stakeholders are optimistic about the future of the nation’s railways. His appointment has been lauded by friends, family, and industry leaders, who describe him as the ideal candidate to drive the modernization and expansion of Nigeria’s railway network.

Comrade Ayodeji Rilwan Tinubu, a close associate of Dr. Opeifa, described the appointment as a turning point for the NRC. “Dr. Opeifa’s appointment marks the dawn of a new era for Nigeria’s railway system. His visionary leadership and technical expertise will undoubtedly result in significant improvements, connecting cities, fostering economic growth, and improving the quality of life for millions of Nigerians,” he stated.

Dr. Opeifa’s appointment underscores the Tinubu administration’s commitment to harnessing the talents of proven professionals to achieve its Renewed Hope agenda. As the nation looks forward to a railway system that is more efficient, interconnected, and people-centered, all eyes are now on Dr. Opeifa to deliver transformative results.
