The Federal Government has disclosed that the Abuja-Kaduna train service is expected to resume operations in two weeks time.
According to Daily Trust, this was disclosed by the minister of transportation, Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, on Thursday, during the inspection of the Railway station in Moniya, Ibadan.
The Minister also said that the government would not rest on its oar to improve 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.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation suspended train service along the route after terrorists attacked a moving passenger train in Kaduna on March 28, 2022, killing several and abducting scores of passengers.
The captives were later released batch by batch till they were all freed.
