The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Transportation (FMoT), has ordered that the Abuja-Kaduna Train Services (AKTS) resume on May 23, 2022.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) announced in a statement issued by Spokesman Mahmood Yakub on Monday that attempts to rescue the abducted passengers of the attacked Abuja-Kaduna train are still ongoing.
According to the NRC,
“Concerted joint effort to secure the safe release of the abducted passengers being held hostage by the terrorists continues out of the public domain for strategic security reasons.
“However, the Government wishes to assure the relatives of the abducted citizens still in captivity that the safe rescue of these passengers is a top priority and that they should not misconstrue the resumption of train services as abandonment or nonchalant attitude of the government towards their plight.
“The Federal Government will never abdicate its responsibility in rescuing these valuable citizens. The government assures its resolve not to succumb to threats by any faceless group.
“Meanwhile, the Board and management of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) wishes to inform our valued customers that additional security measures are being put in place at both the train stations and the track to ensure the safety of the passengers on board.
