Sambo said the ministry has learnt enough lessons from the attack in March which claimed the lives of several passengers leading to the suspension of train service on the Abuja-Kaduna route
The Federal Government on Monday said the train services on the Abuja-Kaduna rail line are set to return this month, November.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo while giving the scorecard of his ministry in Abuja.
He said adequate security has been put in place to ensure the safety of passengers. The Minister, however, did not give any specific date for the resumption.
Sambo said the ministry has learnt enough lessons from the attack in March which claimed the lives of several passengers leading to the suspension of train service on the Abuja-Kaduna route.
According to him, “This time, I should be able to sit in office and look at the rail corridor and see what is happening there.
“These are the measures we have put in place. Nobody will again shave our heads behind our backs.
“This month of November, we shall resume that service, remember, I told you for those of you who are reporters from the State House that we will not resume this service until every Nigerian held in captivity was reunited with their families.
“God has made that possible, the security agencies in this country under the able leadership and support of Mr President have made that possible.”
