The Federal Government has insisted that Nigerians can travel safely by rail.
Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information, said the current administration had done well in ensuring the safety of rail transport across the country.
Mohammed, who spoke at a press briefing on Monday, said the Federal Government had performed excellently in the provision of infrastructure.
The minister also listed rail projects the current Government had completed across the country.
“We have the Kano-Maradi standard gauge line that passes through some economic hubs of the country, including Kazaure, Daura, Katsina and up to the border town of Jibiya and the city of Maradi in Niger Republic.”
Meanwhile, bandits have been attacking some rail lines across the country.
In October 2021, gunmen had attacked a Kaduna-Abuna train.
On Monday, gunmen believed to be bandits struck again, attacking the rail track of an Abuja-Kaduna train.
Several passengers were injured during the attack.
