Dr Israel who made this clarion call spoke to AsphericNews and he stated, "I have received several calls from prominent Nigerians especially from those in Igbo land stating their mind on the projects of the Transportation Minister. I want to assure you that the Minister is using his office effectively to attract federal projects to Igbo land especially in the Rail sector.
I must categorically say that the Federal Government have approved the construction of the Eastern Rail line which will take you from the approved Deep Seaport in Bonny to Port Harcourt to Maiduguri with an Industrial Park in Port Harcourt.
Dr. Isreal also highlighted the Importance of the ongoing projects in the East, and it's Impact on Businessmen in the Axis.
"Businessmen around Ariaria main market and by extension IMO, ENUGU and ANAMBRA can now transport their containers from Onne to various States by Rail when completed. Also, traders in Onitsha can now use the River Port which will boost the economy in the South East region.
The aide to the Minister called on Igbos not to relent in giving out their support to the Minister of Transportation as there is a lot to benefit and gain from the numerous Rail Projects the Minister is embarking on in Eastern Nigeria.

"The Igbo's should be supportive and proactive in supporting the Minister, because there is more to come in this Government under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. You could recall that Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri Ralline was commissioned virtually by Mr. President with about 11 stations and 326 kilometers distance which the South South region are currently enjoying. You will also recall that the President has also approved the construction of the Lagos-Kano Project," he added.
