Abuja-kaduna Train Breaks Down Twice In Two Weeks by nku5: 3:27pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
Is there anything that Buhari will not spoil out of incompetence? After inheriting the railway lines and locomotives just completed and bought by GEJ's administration two years ago he has been unable to maintain them. Fear gripped passengers on Friday when the train they boarded from Abuja to Kaduna broke down close to Jere, a community which has recorded a series of kidnappings. Friday’s incident was the second in two weeks. According to DAILY TRUST , the train experienced system failure at the station before it broke down. The newspaper said though an official of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) said it will take “two minutes” for the fault to be rectified, passengers were stranded for about 20 minutes. The police officers who were on the train reportedly alighted from it to secure the passengers. A passenger of the train who was not named urged the NRC to work against having a repeat of system failure. He also suggested the deployment of more security personnel to guard the passengers. “We are lucky that it did not happen at night. I pray that this is urgently looked into because this is the safest means of getting to Kaduna from Abuja,” he said. Another passenger said when the train broke down, what came to his mind was “kidnappers”. “This is the second time that I’m experiencing this. The first time we spent hours but today (Friday) we only spent 20 minutes or so,” he said. “Immediately it happened, what came to my mind were kidnappers.” Although President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated the Abuja-Kaduna rail services on July 26, 2016, its construction began under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. https://www.thecable.ng/abuja-kaduna-train-breaks-down-twice-in-two-weeks |

Blame buhari like he's the chief engineer at national railway authorities |
Re: Abuja-kaduna Train Breaks Down Twice In Two Weeks by nku5: 6:27am On Sep 26, 2017 |
daamazing: Buhari oversees Amaechi who oversees the railway authority. If new trains are packing up after two years it means Buhari has failed woefully to supervise his minister. In other words buhari is a failure bruh. In years past I took the trains under previous administrations and they always ran like clockwork. Sadly buhari's legendary incompetence has infiltrated the place like so many other institutions he met on ground |

aminho: GEJ built kaduna to abuja railway 90% before he was booted out in 2015. Buhari completed it last year and its already packing up. |
