NRC BOWS TO PRESSURE Resumption Of Abuja-Kaduna Train Service Suspended Indefinitely
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has shifted the resumption of service.
The NRC may have bowed to pressure from families of victims of the March 28 attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train.
The NRC had earlier fixed Monday, May 23 for the resumption of the train service but the relatives of the victims opposed the move, saying it was insensitive to resume operation on the route when their loved ones are still languishing in captivity.
Spokesman of the NRC, Mr. Mahmud Yakub, in a statement on Friday said a new date would be announced “soonest.”
In the statement, the NRC apologised for the delay in the resumption of the service even as it assured the families of the kidnapped victims that it was working very hard to safely rescue the kidnapped victims.
