THE federal government has revealed that train services between Abuja and Kaduna would resume in less than two weeks.
The minister of transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, stated this yesterday during his first inspection visit to the 157-km Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway at the Moniya, Ibadan, railway station.
He gave assurances of safety and security to train passengers all around the nation.
The minister, who was accompanied by the Minister for State, Prince Ademola Adegoroye; the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, and other officials of the ministry assured that the federal government would not rest on its oar to ensure that there is improved security on the railway corridors.
“We have announced previously that we are going to commence operation on that line this month, we have a target date.
“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,” he added.
