CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
History of rail transport on Nigeria stared at 106 years age when the rail was laid linking Lagos and extended to Ibadan and also linking port Harcourt and extended to Jos for excavation of tin mineral the first rail line in Lagos was constructed which extended to extended to Medujri and Carstem regions and also other regions.
In 1955 when railway corporation stands as co-operative society and was no longer control fully by federal government which is when they are operating in the law act of 1955. The railway rail line was operating in three different ways the first that stands as old rail line was know as narrow cage the second that stands as new rail line was know s standard cage and it was faster then the formal one the third one is this recent one that commence is existence as of 1955
Railways corporation as a channel of development to a particular area is divided into seven district. General head office is at Lagos and its head quarters is at Alagumgi Lagos Western district headquarters is Ibadan, Eastern distract head quarter is located Enugu and later extended to port- Harcourt Northern district head quarter is at Bauchi North eastern district is located at Carffanchian and the lest north central district head quarters is at Minna. Nigeria Boil way corporation also have branch at London and Indian
Later in 1918 commenting on the need for rail transportation in Nigeria when the colony matters was on control Adewusi Alula noted that government while paper on management of rail transport in Nigeria meant good for the sub-sector but added that it relayed its objectives initially. By 1920 it was clear that Nigeria would operate federal system that would be responsible for the management of railway transportation in Nigeria since he observed that it was the greatest sector that employee the longest number of people in the country.
Then in 1943 he also absented that the state of social capital development was very discounting and that the situation called for a rethink and mode for a good motivation if we were sincere to develop. Now that the situation called for anybody's action's to rescue Nigeria was necessary to develop these mode of transport Jonah Muoha O.C. 1920 observed that the are tension of the rail-line to the hinterland was one of the land mark that made Nigeria great. And he also too anxious that while rule was the guardianship needed by the black to over-come backwardness presently Nigeria is still operating on the same act of law 1955
1.2 Problems Associated With The Subject Matter
Formally the main problem associated with this study is that Nigeria railway corporation as conceived by the whiles was operational and tonally but under rated the development of the local economy and local people as many management staff of the company were whites
Another problem is the force rule controlled by the while which they established which sparked off many chins forcing banks to do smoothing by threats. An as of 1920 a military has taken over the aspect of colonialism which is the greatest problem that has faced many union in the country
Presently the new problem discovered is the issue of mismanagement resource which has been bare of Nigerian's under development. This result of having inadequate locus oil dute for that reason it was successful into employment of foreigners to manage the corporation for will. Employing many staff could be a remote problem the corporation is facing because the more staff are employed the more they are paid.
Another problem is strike when there is strike in the office every operation in the rail way station sewage up. This will not only result high transportation cost but also the workers or staff will suffer it
Accident is another problem associated with railway when accident occur in railway majority of people usually loose their lives
1.3 Problem That The Study Will Be Concerned With
Problems that the study will be concerned with are noted below

1.4 Importance Of Studying The Area
The study of the subject matter contribution of transportation industry to the economic development of Nigeria to a study of rail corporation is very important to anybody who desires to be conversant with mainly the development or involvement in Nigeria economy.
Nigeria railway is a very important port in Nigerian's polity Michael Imoudu 1941 observable that the importance of railway to the economic social political and religious development of Nigeria could not be over- emphases. He noted that the region needed that government mostly needed improve the lots of masses.
He particularly stated that the lives of the people much lingered or railway as the clear link between regions noting that a lot of people had been improved extremely well since railway was constructed.
Before 1914 may northerners had not come to south infact he observed that the first Emire to visit the south was in 1940 when Bernard Bourdillon re-emphasized the his pat leader Donald Cemeron he also recalled that the lot of people socially and economically had been improving a lot by the constitution of railways in the country.
The railway hold contributed enough apart from the above mentioned discussed. Railway transportation had brought about development in Nigeria economy
1.5 Definition Of Important Terms
One will agree with me that for meaningful communication to take place on a field of study effort should be made to define and know the relevant terms used in the process. This is to ensure that it is clean and readable. So in view of this I search further to explain certain key terms used in the topics to my discussion as they occur in this research work this
