Amaechi made the revelation during the 15th National Council on Transportation, NCT, in Sokoto.
He added that the ongoing rail projects in the country would create employment opportunity for the teeming youths.
He said that to grow the economy effectively and efficiently, the railway must be developed.
Amaechi said the federal government was on the verge of signing a contract agreement with General Electric for the rehabilitation of the rail lines across the country to ensure they are put to use in the very shortest time.
Amaechi also said the President has given approval for the construction of Abuja-Itakpe rail line, while preparation is in top gear to commence activity on the Ajaokuta-Warri line which will be completed in June 2018.
