Amaechi told state house correspondents after a closed door meeting with president Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday that the availability of funds is what determines the award of contracts for rail projects in the country.
The transport minister hinted that some of the ongoing rail projects in the country would be completed this year while work on the port Harcourt/ Maiduguri line which is expected to cost about fifteen billion dollars will commence soon.
The twenty-first of March every year is observed as international day of happiness.
With Nigeria as the fifth happiest country in Africa and the 91st in the world, government at all levels have been called upon to scale up efforts at improving the economy as well as the security of the country and social support system.
International day of happiness is a day set aside by the united nations to inspire, mobilize and advance the global happiness movement.
The latest world happiness ranking released march 14 assessed 156 countries happiness level based on six variables that support wellbeing, income, freedom, healthy life expectancy, social support system and absence of corruption in government.
While Nordic countries like Finland, Norway, Denmark Iceland and others normally top the chart of the report, the reverse is the case for war hit countries and sub-saharan African countries.
For psychologists, Nigeria must lay more emphasis on increasing human happiness and wellbeing along side growing the economy.
The 2018 theme of the international day of happiness is “a share of happiness and be part of something amazing” and this reflects a global demand for sustained attention to happiness as a criterion for government policies.
