Amina Mohammed was Nigeria’s former Minister of Environment before her appointment at the UN.
She is now the first Nigerian woman to have a railway station named after her.
It would be recalled that last year, President Muhammadu Buhari had named some stations along the Lagos-Ibadan and the Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri corridors after some prominent Nigerians.
