Indeed,
history was made on Tuesday when fresh tomatoes from Kano State arrived Lagos
by rail. According to reports, this will be the first time fresh tomatoes will
be
transported from Kano to Lagos by train since 1959, about 58 years ago.
Disclosing
this at First Bank’s maiden Agric Expo 2017 held at Eko Hotel and Suites, on
Tuesday (yesterday), Emmanuel Itoya Ijewere, an eminent businessman with
extensive experience and interests across the banking, finance and agricultural
spectrums, said:
“The train left
Kano at about 10am yesterday. As at 11am today, it has arrived Osun and by 10pm
this evening, it will be in Lagos. That is happening for the first time in 58
years. I want to thank those who have made it possible including the minister
of Agriculture. After this, it will now be weekly affairs. We will move a lot
of these things conveniently.”
