Post created on 3:56 pm

Months after the attack at the Abuja-Kaduna train station the Federal Government has given an assurance that the train service will resume operation in less than two weeks.

The minister of transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, said this on Thursday in Ibadan, at the Railway station in Moniya, during his first inspection visit to the 157-km Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway.

He assured the safety of railway passengers across the country, as well as security on board and the railway train corridors.

The minister was accompanied by Prince Ademola Adegoroye, Minister of State, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, and other officials of the ministry.

He further stated that he must not share the date publicly, since it will not help in the running of the service.

“Nigerians are interested in the service, in less than two weeks, before the month is over, so just be patient,” he said.
