The state of public properties in Nigeria is a source of worry to well meaning Nigeria.

Landed properties are residential buildings, shops, catering services, and office and quest houses. As one of the public corporation, Nigeria Railways Corporation was established by law in 1912 by the British colonial masters to provide rail transportation services in the nation. The organization was structured according to the policy Objectives establishing it. The headquarters was located at Ebute Meta, now in Lagos state and its districts headquarters were located at Ibadan, Enugu, Kaduna, Bauchi and Kafanchan. The district headquarters in turn have their area offices to enhance implementation of management policies, hence the intention of the colonial masters to transport people, products and materials to different parts of the country. However, it is with great regret that the cooperation have failed to live up to its expectation in all ramification.
