The Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, has declared that appropriate technology would be installed before resuming train operations on the Abuja- kaduna route.

He said during a familiarisation visit to the Idu and Kubwa train stations on Tuesday in Abuja, that there was the need to ensure that necessary measures were taken to avoid reoccurrence of the March 28 train attack.

”First and foremost, it is very important to get those Nigerians that were kidnapped reunited with their families, otherwise it will be seen as if government is not sensitive.

”Whereas government is not only sensitive, but government is doing everything it can to make sure that those who have been affected by this unfortunate incident are reunited with their families.

”Secondly, you must put in place adequate security and infrastructure to protect and prevent all forms of threats that are possible and leave what you cannot do to God”.

According to him, appropriate technology has to be deployed within the train stations and along the tracks, to avoid such a disaster in future.

”So we are trying to deploy the best technology available anywhere in the world. That has served very well for us in other jurisdictions, which we believe can also serve us very well here in Nigeria,” he said.

The minister, however, said government was processing to acquire explosion sensors that would detect and eliminate threats on the track.

“To save the lives of Nigerians is the priority of government, the best way to travel as far as I’m concerned, is by train.”

He assured that  normal trains services would be restored on the Abuja- Kaduna route soon.

On maintenance, Sambo said arrangements were being made to ensure the maintenance of existing facilities at the stations.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Nigerian Railway Corporation suspended  the train operations on Abuja-Kaduna route after the terror attack on March 28. (NAN)
