Agency reports,
The Federal Government on Monday announced that train services on the Abuja-Kaduna rail line will resume in November 2022.
Tracknews reports that Mu’azu Sambo, the Minister of Transportation, made this disclosure while giving the score-card of his ministry in Abuja.
According to him, adequate security has been put in place to ensure the safety of passengers.
Recall that in March, gangs of heavily armed men, known locally as bandits, infamously attacked an urban train heading to Kaduna from Abuja with dozens of passengers. Some of the passengers were killed, while many others were abducted.
Going by media reports and family sources, the criminals received over N6 billion in ransom payments.
