The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) may have bowed to pressure from families of victims of the March 28 attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train as the corporation has shifted the resumption of service.

The NRC had earlier fixed Monday, May 23 for the resumption of the train service but the relatives of the victims opposed the move, saying it was insensitive to resume operation on the route when their loved ones are still languishing in captivity.

Apparently bowing to their demand, the NRC postponed the resumption indefinitely as no new date was announced.

Spokesman of the NRC, Mr. Mahmud Yakub, in a statement on Friday said a new date would be announced “soonest.”

In the statement, the NRC apologised for the delay in the resumption of the service even as it assured the families of the kidnapped victims that it was working very hard to safely rescue the kidnapped victims.

It said, “The NRC will continue to cooperate and collaborate with the Federal Government in its uncompromising mandate of protecting the territorial integrity and the internal security of Nigeria for safeguarding the lives and properties of its citizens especially as it concerns the rail sub-sector.


“In same vein, we once again identify with the relatives of those in captivity on the account of the recent attack on AKTS to be rest assured that the Federal Government is alive to its responsibility for the safe rescue of all persons being held hostage.

“We therefore appeal, particularly to the relatives of persons held hostage to be patient and cooperate with the Corporation and the Security Agencies as the Federal Government is exploring all possible ways and means to ensure the safe release of their loved ones from captivity, soonest.

“The NRC expresses its profound gratitude to the security agencies for the continued support.”

It's a slap on the faces of all the kidnapped people for the government to forget them and resume train services. They don't even care about Nigerians.

They should sell the trains to Botswana if they cannot secure the lives of Nigerians, enough all these investments to help terrorists make more money.

The Nigerian Army can’t go to after the kidnappers in northern forests but they can deploy fighter jets against IPOB in Orlu forest.

Banditry is northern business, simple.

Na the attack for KD round na im make dem rethink ooo

Whoever had such insensitive thought of resuming activities is not human. Smh.

Very good ... It will be the height of insensitivity if train service on that route should commence when kindapped victims of the last train ride are yet to gain freedom

Scores of Nigerians abducted for almost 2months & the Govt & Security forces are still helpless & clueless. What a shame.

So until they are rescued, train service should not function again abi?
Make we no dey put emotion for everything abeg, yes they should rescue them but train service should resume...
Make person no travel again?

This is the right thing to do.

Until all those who were kidnapped have been released from captivity, it will be insulting to restart the Train service.

If there was real justice in Nigeria, the erstwhile Minister of Transport, the Head of the Railway Corporation and Heads of Security agencies should have been held to account.

But then, this is Nigeria.

Buhari is a terrorist

hisssss

ok

Alright

SEE THE ONE NIGERIA OF IDIOTS THAT COME ONLINE TO MOCK SELF-DETERMINATIONISTS.

JUST SEE THEIR ONE NIGERIA. AWON WEREY.

So what the hell did Buhari achieve? I thought they were busy shouting how he revived the trains. That man is a disaster

Insensitive of Nigerian Railway Corporation.

Better...yeye NRC

Kyase:

Yes oooo..

That billions have been wasted, nepotism have killed this country

Cool

How to be broke:

Step #1: Borrow money to build a train track
Step #2: Don't use the train track

NIgeria can't repay the Chinese loans even if the trains were working, not to talk of now that they don't even work at all.

If a plane crashes, it generally does not imply that all other flights for that route also stop. That said, I can understand why this is being done. I just don’t think there is any rescue being planned either!
