The Federal Government has finally assured that the train service between Abuja and Kaduna will resume in less than two weeks.
The minister of transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, stated this on Thursday in Ibadan, at the Railway station in Moniya, during his first inspection visit to the 157-kilometer Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway.
He assured railway passengers across the country of their safety, as well as security on board the train.
Accompanied by the Minister of State, Prince Ademola Adegoroye, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, and other ministry officials, the minister assured the federal government that security on railway corridors would be improved.
He added, “It is not necessary for me to share that date publicly, I don’t think that will help in running the service.
“Nigerians are interested in the service, in less than two weeks, before the month is over, so just be patient.”
