Minister Orders Resumption Of Abuja-kaduna Train Service Two Days After ‘bomb’ A by Calculating(op): 8:45pm On Oct 22, 2021

Two days after a train plying Abuja-Kaduna route was explosively attacked Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has directed the resumption of train services.

Mr Amaechi gave the directive on Friday after inspecting repairs on the affected track along Rijana and Dutse axis.

This is coming a day after the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) halted the Abuja-Kaduna train services.

“I think what is significant is that the repair was done by our own Nigerian engineers and completed in record time,” the minister said. “By tomorrow (Saturday) we expect to run the first train. That is why I had to come here myself physically to be present here.”

The minister said provisions has been made to secure the rail track pending the deployment of digital systems for Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan train routes.

“The essence of the digital security system is to enable us to know when there is an impact on the rail. It has a sensor, when people walk across the rail we will be able to know.

“We will get the police to be involved so that they will be here before we install the security system,” he added.

Well, the more things change the more they stay same in this country. The train drivers have been seeing this guys whilst driving the last train. But the Wednesday incident showed all
and sundry that familiarity with the cock doesn’t mean it won’t taste the knife of the butcher. I was on board that train, all that happened leading to our safe return to Rigasa around 2am was the work of the almighty.
